Snow Safety Australia offers programs of between three and five days but as all programs are tailored for individual groups, longer trips can be arranged.
These experiences are appropriate for the requirements of the Duke of Edinburgh Award (Gold, Silver or Bronze).
Testimonial
Jeremy Nielsen - Haileybury
"We were recently lucky enough to gain our AST1 certification with Snow Safety Australia and then test out our new skills for a week in the Thredbo backcountry on a trip organised by Adam. We have all since agreed that it was the best trip any of us have ever had; the weather was perfect and the snow was good, but most of all we were able to enjoy the backcountry with the help and expertise of Snow Safety Australia. The equipment we hired from Adam worked flawlessly and we all learnt an incredible amount from our guide Tom whilst having the best fun of our lives. We would strongly recommend both the AST1 course and the backcountry experience offered by Snow Safety Australia to any skier or snowboarder looking to get into the backcountry, and we are incredibly grateful to Adam and Tom for organising the trip and providing such an awesome week. Five stars!"
