Abstract: We wanted to gather data on how well Avalanche Skills Training (AST) 1 students recall what they learned. We understand that "recall" may be differentiated from "knowledge" but we felt this was a good first step. This survey will help us place metrics on what information students retain over time as well as avalanche safety habits they have developed, and thus help assess the effectiveness of the AST program.
