Backcountry Ski Seminar

Are you tired of those long approaches and descents, wallowing in snow while using snowshoes?

Have you ever looked out onto the slopes of the mountains around you while you climb and think “This would be an awesome ski”?

Have you ever gone to the ski area after a big powder dump, only to be disappointed to find it completely tracked out within an hour?

Are you tired of the lines, the people, the money wasted on lift served skiing?

Then backcountry skiing  is for you, and the BOEALPS Backcountry Ski Seminar can make sure you’re ready to go out there and get the goods! This seminar is aimed at giving the new backcountry skier all of the skills and knowledge they need in order to plan and carry out their own ski tours. We will cover different touring equipment (skis, skins, bindings, boots, poles), terrain and route selection, how to set an efficient skin track, backcountry travel techniques, efficient transitions from tour to ski, and more.

The class will meet on two days; one night session during the week to cover concepts and plan a tour, and one day long backcountry tour.
