To-date, I've been strictly on-piste. Probably will stay that way... but...
my g/f really wants me to take this avy class at REI in redmond. It's the Gary Brill course, and wondering if it's worth the cost (which is $175 for three lectures plus one field trip).
thanks for whatever advice on this one.

If you are thinking about doing some BC touring, a rec avi course is a good idea. I can't say much about rec courses in the states, but the CAA courses are good. I just took my RAC course last month, and it was really infomative and it was only $100. It was great, we really got to pick the brains of two of the local patrolers who taught the course, who have loads of experience. After my RAC course, I am seriously considering taking my Advanced Rec. Course.
Also you might get more responses by posting in Slide Zone.
Gary really knows his stuff but only 1 field trip and a bunch of lectures? Seems unusual to have that mix
The field trip is an all day shindig, the lectures are three evenings (2.5 hours each). I really don't know what to expect, but glad to hear he knows his stuff. Here is the course outline.Quote:
