Field notes
The page maps its practice plan to three situations: first-season learning, taking more leadership on tours, and traveling into unfamiliar terrain. It also invites avalanche-course providers, guides and backcountry clubs to pilot the project with their communities and help shape what comes next. The simulator itself is not accessible yet; the announced beta is for winter 2026/27.
