This backcountry touring course teaches the fundamentals of backcountry skiing and splitboarding. When it comes to transitioning from in bounds to out of bounds, it will accelerate the learning curve and set you on the right track for your backcountry career. You'll get lots of uphill skinning practice and plenty of time for backcountry runs on one or more slopes. Time will be allowed for lunch, snacks, water breaks, creating an enjoyable learning pace through the winter Wasatch environment.

We've made this class more affordable; it's a must-have pre-requisite to the Level 1 Avalanche Course if you are new to your gear and have no experience uphill skinning or skiing/riding backcountry conditions. Instructors will suggest good tours for students to do on their own, and offer insights into a progression of tours and ski mountaineering ascents to enable goals to be achieved.
