Beginner Avalanche Awareness Workshop – a perfect starting point for anyone new to winter backcountry adventures.
This one-day session is tailored for women who are eager to enhance their snow travel skills and gain essential knowledge in avalanche safety.
Skills Clinic: minimal wilderness touring, no ski/splitboard touring experience required.
This trip is rated Beginner. Although this is a novice skills day, the participants should have ample hiking experience and good fitness. We will be practicing techniques in the snow all day but with plenty of rest breaks.
We expect to be on the snow near our outdoor classroom for the skills portion so estimate about 1-2 miles of travel over the course of the day.
We recommend that you stay well hydrated and fed prior to departure to assist in mitigating altitude sickness if you are coming from sea level.
