Backcountry travel can provide you with the best skiing around…or it can lead you into some of the most difficult skiing conditions possible. For this skills day, we will focus on techniques to help you ski more safely – and maybe even gracefully – through tough snow conditions like crust, mashed potatoes, guck, glump, and windslab.

Weather and conditions permitting, we will utilize the Alpental lifts* to access the wide variety of backcountry terrain in our backyards. We’ll work with video and coaching out on the mountain, and we’ll finish the day reviewing the movies we took during our skiing runs.

*Please note that lift passes are not included in the trip cost.
