SUMMARY:zz - Basic Snowmachine Rider Certification Class 1.5.2025
DESCRIPTION:The snowmachine basic rider certification class is designed for new riders to the sport. It is a 6-hour hands on riding class that will give the new rider the basic skills of riding and safety.   It will provide a solid foundation that will allow the new rider to continue developing their own skills with confidence.  Lessons will include machine inspection\, starting and controls\, riding positions\, starts and stops\, turns\, maneuvers\, climbing hills\, and side hilling.  A total of 11 individual lessons during the day of riding. The culmination of the class will be a trail ride that puts all of the skills of the day into a trail ride packed with additional skills for all kinds of riding terrain and encounters.  We are offering this class at a very low introductory price of $125 per person.  Class size is limited.  The class will be Sunday\, January 5th at Eureka Lodge.  This is a great opportunity to learn some skills on Sunday and then you might consider spending the night and riding on Monday to develop and practice these new skills that you learned in the class. Space is limited to five riders. Reserve your spot today.

SUMMARY:zz - Glacier Travel seminar
DESCRIPTION:Alaska has more glaciers than anywhere in North America. Glacier travel on snowmachines is a high risk\, high hazard activity that must be taken very seriously.   There are very important considerations that are critical if you plan to participate in this activity.  We will cover the basics of glaciers\, glacier travel\, and how to assess the hazards to minimize the risks.  We will demonstrate crevasse rescue gear and equipment.  We will cover the basics of crevasse rescue strategies.  This is a lead-in course to our full day glacier travel class that will be offered later this winter.  Watch this site for future listings.  \nRegister today to save your space.

SUMMARY:zz - Intensive Glacier Travel Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our comprehensive Snowmachine Glacier Travel and Crevasse Rescue Class. During this 8-hour course\, you will learn about risk management and how to evaluate glacier travel risks. Participants will learn critical strategies for identifying and selecting the safest travel routes across glaciers. Participants will gain knowledge on how to assess terrain and recognize potential hazards associated with crevasse falls. Like avalanche rescue\, crevasse rescue must happen in minutes. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the intricacies of glacier travel\, ensuring you are well-equipped to read glaciers to minimize those risks. \nIn addition to route planning\, this class will focus on developing vital rescue skills needed in the event of a crevasse fall. Participants will receive hands-on training in effectively utilizing their machine and rescue kits\, including techniques for quickly deploying ropes and other essential gear to execute a fast and efficient rescue. In emergency situations\, every second counts\, and our course emphasizes the importance of swift action. By the end of the day\, you will have the confidence and skills necessary to respond effectively in critical situations\, making glacier adventures safer for you and your riding companions. \nThis is a class to help reduce your risks if you chose to travel on glaciers.  It must be remembered that travel by snowmachine on glaciers is an extremely dangerous activity and we are not promoting the activity\, we are only trying to reduce the risk to those that venture out onto the ice.  If you choose to s now machine in glacier country\, you should only go with a very experienced person that knows the safest crevasse free route and has full rescue skills. \nOnce you have registered\, you will receive by email\, a list of recommended gear to bring to the class.
