Education

Participants register for free awareness seminars offered during our 2009 Season Kickoff .

ESAC is committed to providing the highest quality information to the public as well as encourage backcountry enthusiats to become better educated about the environment we play in.

This year we are working to improve our education and outreach program in the following ways:

•   Make presentations at local events such as Avy Savvy, fundraisers and during other appropriate opportunities.
•  Install 2 separate NEW Ortovox Beacon Training Facilities (one at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area & one at the USFS Visitor Center) for people to practice beacon use.
•  Make presentations and provide applications of various curriculum in local school classrooms.
•  Where possible, make other presentations to the local community on avalanche and snow related topics

  While the Center itself does not teach any full classes, we strongly encourage you people to take a formal avalanche course with one of our local supporting guides. A complete schedule of available courses is available via our Calendar.
