Utah avy center has meetings at the depot occasionally for free going over basics, but Id suggest paying for Avy 1... even though you just went 5 days without food because you were broke.
“Know Before You Go” is a free 50-minute presentation from the Utah
Avalanche Center. It will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3 at
Canyon Sports' Cottonwood location (1844 E. Fort Union Blvd.), and
again near Ogden at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10 at Canyon Sports in
Riverdale (4598 S. 700 W.)."

just signed up for an avy 1 class with utah mountain adventures (exum). only require a $100 deposit and the rest is paid after the course (comes to about $240 total). should be well worth the cost.
