Companion Rescue Skills 1 Day Course

Hone your rescue skills - this is what keeps you and your partners alive! A Companion Rescue Skills (CRS) course is a must-have for all backcountry recreationists in any winter sport, because it teaches life-saving search and rescue techniques. No previous experience is required.

The CRS course is a great way to dial in necessary rescue skills or as a refresher for the AST 1 skills. This hands-on, one-day course takes place in the field.

After taking the Companion Rescue Skills course, we encourage all participants to consider further training by taking the AST 1 course.
