					<description><![CDATA[The third day with the American Alpine Institute (and second day on snow) meant taking all the education, on-snow practices and really applying it to our experience in the backcountry. It was focused on us enjoying the snow while remaining safe and watching for terrain that could be avalanche prone. We had made a trip plan on Saturday to explore farther out in the backcountry but at our morning meeting, we discussed an alternate trip plan for the day. The reason was due to weather and the low visibility/high winds in the backcountry. Despite the forecast, it was different on the mountain and we adjusted the day to what was going on. We headed up back to Swift Creek where we practiced beacon training the day before but today was about skinning up, splitboarding down, skinning up, splitboarding down. In between we met up and discussed the conditions, safety and best practices for terrain we were riding. During each run, someone led the group to the next meeting point and made sure the whole group made it safely down. When I first transitioned from skis to a snowboard with my splitboard, it took a while. I didn&#8217;t get all the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As soon as I got confirmation that I would be heading up to BC and AK this year, I knew it was time to take the avalanche level I course. I checked out a couple options for course providers in the NW and eventually found the American Alpine Institute out of Bellingham and Mt Baker. I signed up and paid my fees so I could finally get a better understanding and more practice in the backcountry. The first day was Friday which was a classroom day. We really discussed a lot of information, technical knowledge and used interaction/videos to help the learning process. It was a good way to start the course. Day two started on Saturday where we met up in the Mt Baker parking lot at 8am to finally bring the tools we learned into the classroom to life on the slopes. Erin and Dustin were our guides for the course. The first part of the day was making sure our beacons were on and working properly. We talked about the weather and to watch for weather signs as we skinned up the mountain. Earlier this year I finally got a splitboard but this was the first time [&#8230;]]]></description>
