Avalanche Education

American Institute for Avalanche Research & Education (AIARE)

Tools for Smarter Backcountry Travel

The AIARE Framework helps skiers, splitboarders, snowmobilers, mountaineers, and snowshoers make smarter decisions when traveling in or near avalanche terrain. More than just facts and terminology, the framework teaches a practical system for planning tours, assessing conditions, managing terrain, and learning from each day in the field. Avalanche education is ongoing. Each course and adventure sharpens your skills and builds confidence. Refresh your training every few years to stay current. Backcountry travel is a lifelong journey.
