Waivers & Risk Acknowledgment

All participants in Blizzard Academy activities must complete the Blizzard Academy Risk Warning & Waiver of Liability, confirming you understand the risks of backcountry travel and training, and agree to follow instructor guidance. This waiver is sent with the self-assessment form, but must be acknowledged before registration.

Participants in Avalanche Canada AST courses must also complete the AST Waiver (a youth version is available for under-18s). You’ll acknowledge it before registration and sign a full-colour paper version at the course. A new waiver is required for each AST activity.

Disclaimer: This is for guidance only. Official waivers must be completed before attending any course, tour, or training activity.
