Advanced Backcountry Skiing
This full day in the mountains is the perfect follow-up to our Backcountry Skiing I or anyone with touring experience. We’ll tackle more complex ascents and descents while fine-tuning your skills. We practice group management and proper terrain selection, all while maximizing our time skiing. We’ll focus more on hazard awareness, land navigation and most important improve your off piste skiing ability.
