Abstract: Education in avalanche safety is available through numerous programs, using a variety of means which differ by the extent of information covered. All programs, however, have in common three major components: recognition of safe or unsafe terrain and snow conditions; safety measures; and action to be taken in case of accidents. In this paper, the various means of education are summarized and the courses for operational personnel in Canada are described.
