Overview:
Intro to Ski & Splitboard Mountaineering is a two day course, after which students will be familiar with the advanced skills involved in choosing and carrying-out summit ski descents. We will practice skills to manage risk and travel efficiently in more complex backcountry terrain. The specific objective of the ski mountaineering course is to climb a mountain on skis or carrying them, and descend using techniques appropriate to the terrain.

Have taken two courses with them over the years and have had outstanding experiences both times. They have been physically demanding but very educational and rewarding. As I progress in my knowledge, I will be taking more classes from them in the future.
