GET OUT THERE

If you haven’t discovered the backcountry yet, here’s your cue to start exploring. When you leave the lifts behind and venture up the mountain under your own power, you earn access to untouched terrain and solitude that few skiers will ever experience. A great entry point is taking a beginner’s ski touring course, where you will learn to use skins and travel uphill on skis. After some practice, you can then take an AIARE I course, where you’ll learn how mitigate the risks of being caught in an avalanche.
