Backcountry Basics

This one day clinic is ideal for skiers and riders who are looking to duck the rope into the backcountry. It is designed for folks who have already had or are planning to take a Level 1 Avalanche course.

Students will be introduced to skills needed to be a confident, efficient, and well informed backcountry partner.

The topics we'll cover include packing, layering, pacing, navigation tools, emergency planning, safe decision making, and much more. This is not a substitute for avalanche certification but compliments the skills and knowledge you will gain in a Level 1 Avalanche course.

Only 4 spots available per day!

*Dates can be flexible*

  • Please have all of your own touring gear (Touring Skis or Splitboard)

  • Avalanche safety equipment (Beacon, Shovel, Probe) is available for rent

  • A lift ticket or season pass is required and is NOT included in the cost.
