Employment and Apprenticeships

We offer an apprenticeship pathway into the pro-avalanche world for the right people. We do this under the A3 guidelines for someone to move from General, to an affiliate member up to a pro member and get their operational days under a Pro2(or equivalent) Snow Safety officer.  Minimum Qualifications are Level1 + Rescue(or you can take ours early in season) and get American Avalanche Association General membership(A3) $35 at minimum(more info here), WFR(in certain cases for snowmobiler WFA) and currently seeking  Pro1(or in certain cases Rec L2 if Pro 1 isn't available). We are especially interested in people who can both Ski/splitboard and snowmobile. Pay ranges from Volunteer to $200/day D.O.E. Must be available in peak winter as well(Mid January - March). Discounted or comped tuition in our Rescue and Rec L2 classes is an option as well.
