Custom Day of Backcountry Skiing
Course Objectives
The Backcountry is your oyster with this. Gather some friends or spend one on one time with an AMGA certified mountain guide. This course can be tailored to anything you would like to learn. Whether you just want to have an introduction to the backcountry, or you are interested in skiing a big line. We will set you up with the best and safest experience possible. If you have objectives in mind such as skiing Mt. Whitney or Mt. Rainier, we can give you the skills necessary to get there.
