Select "Register for Series" button for Sled AST 1 Refresh for February 28th with a second option of running the field day on March 14th. No refunds after 24 hours of registration, we will do our best to help fill your spot if you cannot find someone else to. Upon registration, please email us proof of your previous AST 1 certificate (you need to have taken a full AST 1 course to do a refresh, can be ski or snowmobile).

**You will need to have a snowmobile to use for the field day, in addition to wearing a three antenna avalanche transceiver and a backpack containing the minimum avalanche equipment of a probe and shovel.

The Live4theRush AST 1 Refresher is designed for riders who have already completed a full AST 1 course and want to sharpen their practical field skills. This one‑day program focuses on reinforcing the essential decision‑making and rescue techniques that keep sledders safe in avalanche terrain.

Participants will revisit key concepts in avalanche awareness and terrain recognition, then spend the majority of the day in the field applying those lessons through hands‑on practice. The emphasis is on refreshing rescue skills, fine‑tuning group communication, and building confidence in real backcountry conditions. To meet minimum student requirements, refresher participants may be grouped with another AST 1 cohort who have also completed the classroom portion, creating a dynamic learning environment that blends review with fresh perspectives.

Students should arrive prepared for a full day in the snow with proper winter attire and a mechanically sound snowmobile. Because this is a backcountry course, some off‑trail riding will be part of the experience, and riders are expected to have basic competence traveling off trail in mellow terrain. Pack snacks and hot beverages to stay fueled and comfortable outdoors, and please leave alcoholic drinks at home.

This refresher ensures that past AST 1 graduates leave with renewed confidence, stronger rescue skills, and the ability to make informed, safe decisions in avalanche terrain.
