Three days after leaving Costa Rica, students are in the snow and freezing rain in the mountains of western Montana. Aided by the amazing cooking of our chef, Raven (participating in a scenario, first picture below), they are beginning their winter survival, Leave no Trace Trainer and avalanche training. This Tuesday they will put on skis and snowshoes for four days at a backcountry yurt earning their Level 1 Avalanche from Steve Karkanen and Dudley Improta of the West Central Montana Advisory Center. By week's end they will travel to Missoula for a full day of human anatomy instruction at the University of Montana cadaver lab and vehicle extrication with the East Missoula Fire Department.
