While you're saving up for your Beacon and Avy I, buy and read Bruce Temper's Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain. Though it cannot replace a course and digging plenty of pits, it is the standard book for this sort of thing. And who doesn't like books?
Even if it's just a friend who told you things, you're ahead of most people there. It's definitely worth getting a level 1 cert. if you're gonna be out in the BC at all, plus learning about avys is really fucking cool in my opinion. Also you can read some of the 'classic' books. For example:
Staying Alive in Avy Terrain
The Avy Handbook
Because once you know what you're doing and are confident, you can ski every day fairly safely.
