Snowmobile specific avalanche courses brought to you by BCA and Ski-Doo: coming your way for free this fall.

  • 2020-10-04 08:19:09
    Once upon a time, if a snowmobiler was looking to up their safety game before a winter of 'hoon'-ing, this would be the time of year to attend an avalanche safety seminar hosted at BRP dealership across North America. With COVID-19 putting a halt to most public gatherings, BCA and Ski-Doo snowmobiles have partnered with Avalanche 1 to bring riders free videos on avalanche safety online, so we can fill the day with 'yew!'s instead of more serious shouts that put a quick stop to a day of brapping. 

    Starting this month, you can work your way through 16 lessons as they get posted. Videos will be shared on the BCA website and you will find those, and more info, here.
