This two-day course focuses on developing fundamental skills for backcountry ski touring. We will cover gear, skinning and uphill turning techniques, track setting considerations and terrain management skills. We will emphasize avalanche terrain recognition, both large and small, to aid your ability to avoid avalanches and enjoy a well-set skin track. Depending on group and conditions, basic route planning with map, compass and time calculations may be covered.
