Backcountry Ski Basics
Recreation
Come learn the basics of backcountry skiing/boarding with us! We’ll spend an evening in the classroom covering how to use alpine touring equipment/splitboard to get up and down the mountain, the basics of avalanche safety equipment, how to locate and interpret an avalanche danger forecast, and route planning. The following day we’ll head out into the Bear River mountains for a full day on our touring equipment. In addition to getting some backcountry turns, we’ll cover the basics of avalanche rescue, snowpack evaluation, and terrain management. This trip is geared toward resort skiers/boarders who want to learn how to venture into the backcountry safely. No backcountry experience is required but you must be comfortable riding black diamond terrain. Participants must be prepared for strenuous hiking and a full day in winter conditions, snow or shine. Backcountry touring skis or splitboard with skins are required and available to rent for an additional $10+ tax for this trip. NO SNOWSHOES. Trip cost includes transportation, avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, and student leadership.
