Backcountry ski camp / avalanche safety courses

As you plan a winter ski touring, off piste skiing. As you prep for an untracked line down the face or waiting for the snow to cover your secret line make sure to check your gear. Tranceivers need new batteries, probe and shovel need a check, your avalung, your canister of your airbag need to be check and take an avalanche safety course, practice searching with your transceiver, ask your skiing buddies to do the same. Do it as early as possible so when you leave you won’t have to worry about it.

We have plan for you an Adventure ski camp in Aspen January 14-19, 2013. This camp will cover skiing techniques, backcountry techniques, safety tools, hazards evaluation, group management and a lot of good skiing.

 

 

Winter calendar of Events; ski touring from Chamonix to Zermatt, ski traverse of the Berner Oberland and much more.
