Just out of ear shot of the lifts
and crowded slopes exists a skier’s
paradise, just beyond the patrolled
slopes lies a place where nature takes
over, leaving us at the mercy of our
own knowledge and skills. The rewards
are what drive us to explore these
untamed areas of the mountain. ‘The
snow was bottomless’-‘
we had face shots all day’-‘
the terrain was amazing’ this is waht ist all about.
If you have ever looked over at an
untouched powder slope and wondered
what if! or simply haven’t had
the opportunity or confidence to venture
into the unknown, then the ‘Intro
week’ is perfect for you. We
will give you not only the tools to
safely travel in the backcountry but
also the opportunity to safely experience
them for yourself.
The week helps you to build a foundation
of mountain skills, such as avalanche
safety, route finding, weather observations
and crevasse rescue, that aim to improve
your mountain awareness and safety.
