MTR 1 - Mountain Travel Rescue 1

NSP's Mountain Travel and Rescue Program offers a sequence of courses that prepare ski patrollers and others to manage group safety and to participate in search-and-rescue operations in the mountains, including backcountry and off-piste settings. The courses cover basic survival skills, mountain travel techniques, wilderness navigation, hazard management, mountain weather, group dynamics, environmental considerations, medical problems specific to mountain environments, search-and-rescue principles, and emergency rescue techniques, including rope work.

There are five courses: 

• Mountain Travel and Rescue Fundamentals and Mountain Travel Rescue 1 prepare candidates to be search-team members in ground-based search and rescue operations.
  
• Mountain Travel and Rescue 2 prepares more experienced candidates to serve as task-force or strike-team leaders.
  
• Mountain Travel and Rescue Clinics (with no prerequisites)
  
• Mountain Travel and Rescue Enhancement Seminars (for students who have completed MTR F, MTR 1, or MTR 2) focus in depth on specific skills for mountain search and rescue operations.
  
• All courses involve hands-on field sessions; Mountain Travel and Rescue 1 and 2 require overnight field sessions.
