On January 12th, 2025, members of the Toronto Section of the ACC gathered at Boyne Valley Provincial Park to practice their Avalanche Skills hands-on. Following transceiver checks in the parking lot, the group hiked into the park where instructional demos were provided. The participants then spread out to practice beacon search techniques in three smaller groups. The day culminated with shovelling and probing in deep snow as part of a group search activity.
