"I cannot say enough good things about this AVY safety course. We went through field exercises predicting avalances through snow analysis and weather / terrain assessment, as well as rescue techniques and proper use of equipment. This background was so helpful in preparing me for powder adventures in Japan. Being knowledgable, prepared and appropriately cautious are so critical for safely enjoying the backcountry and the sidecountry!" -Katrina , avalanche level 1 and rescue 2025 "I've participated in several outdoor study and rescue courses, and I can honestly say I gained more practical knowledge from Brad's Level 1 course than any other training I've attended. For anyone venturing into the backcountry, this family-owned Bend business provides essential education delivered with expertise and passion. If you're serious about backcountry safety, don't hesitate to sign up with Ullr Backcountry." -Brian L., ULLR Rec Level 1 & Rescue 2025 "I took Brad's intro to splitboarding class. Brad is a pro! He is fun to be around, extremely experienced and a patient and thorough teacher. Not only did I learn a ton, but I had fun doing it. I'm hooked!" -Tracy B., ULLR Intro to Splitboarding 2025 "Brad put on an excellent AVY1 course. There was a fairly wide range of experience levels in the group, and it was a high value for everyone. Brad did an excellent job of going over materials in the classroom, and then reinforcing our learning out in the field on the same day. I feel like I now have the tools to begin my lifelong learning experience of backcountry travel. I'm looking forward to taking more courses with Brad in the coming years after applying some of the skills I've learned in this class." -Evan W., local guide, ULLR Rec Level 1 & Rescue 2025 "Brad and Kelly put together a very well organized, professionally instructed, 3 day avalanche course. Class study accompanied by a very nice breakfast and coffee was a great way to start the mornings. Brad and Kelly were phenomenal teachers and are very experienced in this field. I left this course feeling very knowledgeable and skilled and ready to take my learning on every backcountry mission from now on. Thanks ULLR!!" -Ryan, avalanche 1 & rescue 2025
