We're doing a Level 1 Avalanche Safety course in Reno again in March 2015. This course is great, since the classroom portion is given at night, so you won't have to take a day off of work and it's in Reno. The instructor has decades of experience and is a cool guy. If you know anyone that is interested, give them this link for details and to sign up:

Books:
Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain
Secrets of the Snow (my personal favorite)
The Avalanche Handbook
Freedom of the Hills (has avalanche section, but recommended for general mountain knowledge if you don't have a copy) Originally Posted by Ernest_Hemingway

Snow Sense makes for a good intro. Then Staying Alive or Avalanche Essentials.
