Jamie Yount – Wilderness Weather Fundamentals

Description of Wilderness Weather Fundamentals

Weather can make or break any outdoor adventure from a day hike to a multi-day backpacking trek, especially if you’re not prepared for adverse conditions. But with some basic weather knowledge, you can adjust your plans—whether you’re in the field or at home prepping—before you get caught in a storm.

This online education course, taught by meteorologist and adventurer Jamie Yount and BACKPACKER Magazine, goes far beyond informing you how to react to lightning. It answers the fundamental questions of what causes weather and how to read the signs that help you forecast what may come next. This five-part eLearning course will teach any adventurer the ins and outs of weather in an approachable, applicable way.

We know you have a busy schedule, so we’ve designed Wilderness Weather Fundamentals to be taken at your own pace. You’ll learn through a variety of interactive formats, including video instruction, photo descriptions, quizzes, and more. Each lesson builds on the last, and, while we’ve designed the course to be 5 weeks long, you can take it as quickly or slowly as you want. Plus, once you purchase the course, the lessons are yours forever.

What you will learn in Wilderness Weather Fundamentals

At your own pace, you’ll learn the basics of how weather works and how to read changes in the weather that could impact your time in the backcountry. In this five-part eLearning class, meteorologist Jamie Yount will walk you through atmospheric pressure, how temperature and pressure are connected, reading clouds, the ins and outs of warm and cold fronts, and more. You’ll also learn how to anticipate severe and dangerous weather and how to respond to lightning, flash floods, and winter hazards.

About Jamie Yount

Jamie Yount is a Boulder, Colorado-based meteorologist. He’s always had a passion for matching his outdoor adventures with the most perfect possible conditions, which inspired his love for weather forecasting.

When he’s not teaching weather forecasting and avalanche courses, he enjoys hiking, kayaking, climbing, backpacking, and skiing around the West.

Yes. This course focuses on weather in North America but will give you the foundation you need to be able to apply that knowledge out in the field anywhere in the world.
