Intro to Backcountry Skiing and Riding Weekend
Do you dream of venturing away from the ski resort crowds and hustle to explore the limitless ski runs and fresh powder snow of the Canadian Rockies backcountry? If you are an intermediate skier who is confident navigating variable and off-piste terrain at the resort then this is the course for you. Join us for a weekend of foundation-level instruction on the essential skills for backcountry skiing, including climbing efficiently with skins, basic companion rescue, and track setting, with a second day tour to get some great powder turns
