A judgment simulator for backcountry decisions.

The problem
You're left on your own between the course and the trailhead.
The course
You learn the framework once, in a classroom and a few field days.
The gap
You might not have an experienced partner to practice with. Guided days are expensive, so you get a couple a season.
The trailhead
The next call is real, or you defer to someone else.
Real routes. Real forecasts. Your call.
Train with AvyLab
Prepare for the real calls in the field.
- The process
- Follows the plan, ride, and debrief process taught in avalanche safety training courses.
- The data
- Each scenario uses a real route, real terrain maps, and an archived forecast from an avalanche center.
- The skill
- Train the judgment calls you'd make on a real tour: where to go, how to manage group dynamics, and when to change the plan.
- What's next
- More scenarios are on the way, matched to your level and the skills you want to sharpen. Expect new regions, conditions, terrain, and decisions.
Community partners
Run courses, guide, or lead a backcountry club? Let's build this together.
We're looking for course providers, guides, and clubs to pilot AvyLab with their communities and shape what we build next.
Practice the hard calls before your real ones.
