Every backcountry skiing, climbing or mountaineering group should have people trained in wilderness first aid skills because it’s only a matter of time in before you will need to put them into use in the backcountry.

This course is the choice of many recreational skiers, climbers, and mountaineers. Basic first aid skills will be taught in the classroom and practiced hands-on in the wilderness environment.
