Intro to Ski Touring on Saturdays
January 30, 2010 - February 20, 2010
This Intro to Ski Touring Course is offered on consecutive Saturdays for those with time constraints.
This four day program has been very successful. It is targeted at the alpine skier who would like to start venturing into the back country on skis. This is a how-to, when-to course that should be affordable for everybody.
We firmly believe that the best classroom setting is in the outdoors-- we therefore keep the indoor lecturing to a bare minimum. (There will be debriefings over a cup of coffee after the various days). Any of the guides teaching this course are either a UAIGM mountain guide or an AMGA ski mountaineering guide.
We will show you how to get comfortable with the touring gear and cover topics such as transceiver search, terrain evaluation in up or downhill situations, track laying, map and compass work. There is a lot to cover in four days-- be prepared to learn.
