Super Camp - Avalanche Course So you want to ride backcountry? Do it the right way! The Camp crew are proactive in educating everyone about the potential risks involved with back-country travel by offering a Recreational Avalanche Course. The 2 day/2 night course, conducted in the Niseko area, is recognised by the Canadian Avalanche Association - the world leader in avalanche education and research.

The course covers all aspects of safe back-country travel including hazard recognition, evaluation of avalanche terrain, snow pack stability testing and the use of avalanche retrieval equipment.

Avalanche awareness is generally neglected in Australia and New Zealand due to our isolation from their dangers. We want to make sure you are aware of the potential dangers in your sport, and empower you by providing the knowledge and skills to identify hazardous situations. In Niseko, we conduct the course in a safe location, ideally suited to learning these skills.
