CU Wilderness Medicine Course – Sangree Froelicher Hut

Whether a veteran of backcountry adventure or a first timer, preparation is the key to a successful hut trip. As a service to our members and guests, the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association has partnered with the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Wilderness & Environmental Medicine program to offer a tailor-made course in backcountry first aid, specific to the high altitude winter environment of Colorado.

The course is equivalent to a 16-hour Wilderness First Aid Course, but contextualized for 10th Mountain Hut travel and extreme winter adventure. Expert faculty from the CU School of Medicine will teach through a combination of lectures and hands-on practical skills, and participants will receive a certificate from the School of Medicine attesting to a WFA in the 10th Mountain Medicine Course.
