OVERVIEW
Are you a backcountry skier and want to progress to the steeps? There are certain techniques we use to manage steep terrain on skis. These consist of managing sluffs, using the rope, safe positioning, the dolphin turn and many more. Join us to get this skillset so you can feel more comfortable and confident in the steeps. On each day of the program, we will ski a steep couloir.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is for people who want to take their skiing to the next level. This is a great introduction to steep skiing technique and rope work.
You need to be able to do 3000 – 4000 ft of elevation gain on skis per day.
You need to be able to comfortably ski black to double black diamonds at the resort. In addition one must have some form of backcountry ski experience. If you have no backcountry ski experience please sign up for an intro to backcountry skiing day before this program.
During the 2 day program we will focus on steep skiing technique such as the dolphin turn, rappelling, rope work, belayed skiing, ski cutting, sluff management, navigating into steep lines, and many more.
This will prepare you to go out and ski steeper terrain. The skillset taught in this program will give you the tolls necessary to get you out of bad situations in the backcountry.
