Would you do Avy 2?

Last year was my first time doing any kind of B.C. I've been skiing for 6 years. Total newbie (a bit on the obsessive side, but still pretty new to it all). Took the Avy 1 class last weekend and LOVED it. Oh man it was so awesome. 10 hours of classroom and I never got bored! WOW!
So I really want to take the Avy 2 class at Crystal, I believe it's in January. I've heard mixed remarks -- "wait, take the avy 1 class a couple more times", etc.
Back to back avy classes or audit the avy 1 a couple of times and do avy 2 next year?

My take?
Take them all.  Take any class that will let you in.  If some of it turns out to be over your head, you'll pick it up the next time around.
Baugher's classes are great. Take them (in order). Take Brill's; take Haugen's, take the WAC classes, take the others.  Take whatever your budget allows
Take them every year.  Apply and practice what you learn to your outings.
Every one of these instructors are putting their heart and soul in trying to keep folks alive in the backcountry and each has their strengths in teaching skills and styles.  You'll pick up different valuable tidbits from each one.
Then as soon as you can, start teaching.  Many of the classes are desperate for volly help.  When you start teaching that's when you really start to learn.  Then keep teaching and keep going to more advanced classes.  New findings, thoughts, ideas and applications are coming along all the time.
With your infectious enthusiasm you may not only help keep yourself alive, but others as well.
Keep it up, lady

nothing wrong with taking an avy 2 the same year as an avy 1 class. I would recommend getting a copy of Bruce Tremper's 'Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain' and reading it through at least once before taking the avy 2 class.
You'll get a lot more out of the class if you are already somewhat familiar with more technical topics that the instructors will be covering.

Thanks guys!
Yes, i have Tremper's book in my bag right now for a little bus-ride reading!

excellent!

I took Paul Baugher's Avy 2 class in '99, and it was excellent, though geared more toward avalanche professionals (lots of pro patrollers from around the west) and ski area management decision-making (the past 2 weeks weather has been "X" and this weather data is coming from the coast, should you plan on closing the backcountry at the ski area tomorrow?). I was one of the few "recreational" skiers in the class.

There was lots of invaluable information, much of it over my head. As with any avy class, the amount you learn on the field day depends on the weather - we were fortunate to have a bunch of new snow and considerable-high avy danger, so the pit and crystal analyses were pretty interesting and RB and compression tests yielded definitive results. There's also the potential to meet like-minded people who match up well with your own risk/fitness/ability profile, not to be underestimated.
