*** This is not a certification course, but an informational course. We will be sharing our tips and tricks that we have learned over the years during out time skiing and adventuring in the backcountry as well as skills that we have learned over years of cat-skiing and heli-skiing. We do not guarantee your safety in the backcountry by taking this course.
