Course Description:
'' Just the thought of fresh snow is enough to excite most skiers. Now imagine the solitude of a winter night, the sky blanketed in endless stars—this is backcountry skiing.

We will teach you the skills and put you in terrain where you need to make real decisions. This course is also excellent preparation for any big mountain expedition where snow and cold are everyday factors.
