Scholarship time is here! These scholarships provide financial assistance for any avalanche education opportunities taking place in 2026, one to a professional in the industry and one to someone looking to expand their back country knowledge and skills. Our goal is to help more people access high-quality avalanche education and build safer habits in the winter backcountry.

The application form is linked in our bio, it only takes about ten minutes to apply, and we encourage anyone who has been considering taking back country courses and maybe hesitated due to cost, to fill it out and give it a shot!

Thunder and his handler have been busy at CARDA, hosted by Whistler Mountain, where they are working on search skills as well as obedience, travel skills, technical rescue skills, and helicopter operations. They are also attending lectures/presentations from course instructors. Getting the opportunity to work with other teams from around North America is invaluable to our team.

Bette in action! Her handler is working on duration by searching her in a negative area while observing the dogs behavior. When she starts to mess around or stop searching she is brought into an area where there are easy find to build her confidence and to keep searching when there isn’t an immediate find.
