On day two, we'll spend time in Tuckerman Ravine (conditions permitting) evaluating snow characteristics and stability and discussing terrain analysis and route selection in an actual avalanche-prone area. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive an official National Ski Patrol course credential. Instruction-only prices are available upon request.
