I am looking to try my hand at a little BC and would like to get informed. I have done some reading, but no hands on. I have no BC gear and not exactly a lot of money. Could anyone offer up some suggestions of a good Avy class to take in the Denver/front range area? Mucho apreciato.
Not exactly cheap, but the Colorado Mountain School schedule would be a good start.
There's an Avalanche Awareness seminar at the Colorado Mountain Club in Golden tonight at 7 PM. It is free to the public and a great opportunity to pick up some basic knowledge. I'm bringing some students tonight, so if you show up say hi.

If you need to be a ski club member, just sign up in their office (location on that web page). They don't check to see if you're actually a student as far as I know. You can't get a better deal than that!
