Avalanche Training in the NE
|
Any of you guys have experience with AIARE certification in the north east? I'm on the market for a course and was wondering if I could get any feedback from the MP community on your experiences with different providers and some direction regarding who to go to. |

Look up Chauvin guides, Synnott guides and EMS' schedules, I'm sure Marc or Mark would have no problem tailoring a course to climbers, they've both done a route or two. As a side note, there's no "certification" in AIARE courses until level 3. You've just taken a course. |

Look up IME or EMS in North Conway. Took level 1 last year with Dave Lottman, who was great. 3 day course, 2 classroom / field days then 1 full field day in Tucks. Dave is a climber, so can talk in your terms. I'm sure the other guides are good as well. We saw a few other outfits while in Tucks - our group had the best client to instructor ratio by far. |

AMC also runs programs but instructors might not be as good |
|
We have a couple spots open on our Jan 3,4,5 course, and 7,8,9. |

Hah- I seriously doubt you are going to have open slots available for much longer now!! |

He's an IMFGA certified guide and an amazing climber. Check his page out here chauvinguides.com/ |
