Mountaineer's Glacier travel course is the gold standard and run by some of the regular posters on this board and many on this board are graduates. The course runs in the spring though, I think.
They will reply soon I'm sure.
Scotty's right.
Information on the Mountie's training for glacier travel & crevasse rescue specifically targeting skiers and boarders is
HERE
.
IF Hood is closer for you the Mazamas do a lot of training on Hood and the guide service at Timberline is probably good for quality crevasse rescue training.
There's a lot of good classes on crevasse rescue systems for climber types.
Unfortunately, the only one that I know of which is specifically for snow sliders is the one put on by the Mountaineers.
There's nothing quite like going into a crevasse with all your ski or boarding gear on, to drive home the importance of having predesigned systems for attaching all your sliding gear out of your way on the climbing rope so that you can prusik up the rope and/or prepare to be hauled over the lip.
