    Avy course in Wanaka NZ?

    I'm looking to do a basic avalanche course before heading back for my second season in Canada 08-09 season. I will probably take another course in Canada since the snowpack in the Rockies is said to be quite tricky. But if I can get the basics down before I go I would be stoked. I currently reside in Australia but will have some firends in Wanaka with a couch for me. Anybody got any info/links for courses?
