Forging Connections Through Avalanche Awareness

What is IBT?

The IBT courses are based on the principles of the Avalanche Skills Training (AST) program provided by Avalanche Canada by balancing risk management and maximizing enjoyment in the winter backcountry.

The IBT program aims to provide some of these key concepts to Indigenous skiers and snowboarders by creating a safe learning environment and helping build a community of outdoor enthusiasts.
