Thinking about taking your riding beyond the resort? This August, the Jones Avy Savvy Course is back brought to you by Jones Australia and Snow Safety Australia, giving you the essential avalanche safety skills and confidence to explore the backcountry safely while chasing powder in Australia or planning trips to Japan and Canada. Walk away with your Level1 Avalanche Accreditation.
Why Avalanche Safety Matters
Splitboarding and backcountry snowboarding open up a world of untracked lines and adventure. But with that freedom comes risk, and being avalanche aware is non-negotiable. Understanding terrain, snowpack, weather, and rescue techniques can be the difference between an epic day and a dangerous situation.
The Jones Avy Savvy Course, run in collaboration with Snow Safety Australia, provides clear, hands-on training in avalanche safety, rescue techniques, and terrain management so you can make informed decisions in the mountains.

✅ How to read terrain and identify avalanche-prone areas.
✅ Use of avalanche safety gear including beacon, shovel, and probe.
