At Colorado Mountain College, we’re known for our snow-related degrees and programs, so it’s only natural that we expand into snow science and avalanche safety training. Our Avalanche Science program is the only one of its kind in the nation!When you graduate from our high-quality, high-altitude Avalanche Science Program, you will understand the basics of weather forecasting, know the fundamentals of snow science and how snow behaves, and master essential avalanche control and avalanche rescue techniques.

On-site, intensive sessions in Leadville are scheduled three times per year. The rest of your course work is completed via live web meetings and independently online.
