Any Avy 1 classes week of Jan. 19??

[Big E]

My plans seem to be changing on a daily basis, but regardless, I'm going to be out in the west (that's, western USA/Canuckistan) the week of Jan 19th, but flying home either the 23rd or 24th. So far, I haven't found any classes going on that would fit that schedule, but I also haven't found a consolidated, nationwide schedule anywhere.

Anyone know of anything? I see Jackson has some sort of National Safety Awareness week during then, but their site doesn't have any more specifics than what I just wrote.

I am pretty sure there is one in Driggs, Idaho (west side of the Tetons) that weekend. It might go Fri/ Sat/ Sun, or Sat/ Sun/ Mon.
It is put on through Yostmark Backcountry Tours/ Mtn shop in Driggs- give them a shout at 208. 354-2828.

This might be too early to fit into your schedule, but maybe not. . .
Jan 17/18 at Castle Mountain (Southwest of Calgary, AB)

Thanks guys. I was hoping to find one that's strictly during the week, which is when I'm actually free and uncommitted to a locale but so far no dice. The Yostmark one is this weekend (into Monday I think), as are several others.
