Join a group of motivated women and learn to ski or splitboard. You’ll ride fresh powder, earn your Recreational Level 1 Avalanche certification, and sleep in yurts & snow shelters you built together on the Women’s Winter Backcountry Touring - Prime course.

#WFR in the Swiss Alps. RG: @jpaniagua_7: “[We] learned how to take care of each other when technology, vehicles and communications are not as available as we are use to. I couldn’t be happier and more satisfied of how the course went...For every person who works or enjoys the outdoors, 100% recommended. Also, this course had 30 participants from 13 different countries, which made it...a truly international experience where we’ve learn so much from each other.” 📷Lena Conlan #nolswildernessmedicine #crossinglatitudes #nolsedu #wildernessfirstresponder #Kandersteg #Switzerland #KanderstegInternationalScoutCenter https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaDqWkHgTn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cdqz5lykxl46

In cases of suspected spinal injury, a patient can be lifted a short distance (onto a pad, litter, or backboard), keeping the head and neck in line with the body, with the rescuer at the head maintaining stabilization and giving commands to the lifters 📷@microjupiter #nolswildernessmedicine #nolsedu https://www.instagram.com/p/BppAXQWH67W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15bu8smng31sn
