Had a great time! Our guide was Rob and he did a great job explaining what the day would look like and going over what to expect. He was very patient with me and took time to answer my questions and wait for me on the uphill hikes. I would highly recommend taking this course if you have never been in the back country before. There is a lot you need to know to stay safe.

This was a great intro to backcountry skiing! I learned the fundamentals of gear, prep, and the terrain. Daniel was our guide for the day and was very informative and friendly with lots of experience and knowledge. Even made a nice conversational pit for lunch! I would highly recommend if anyone is interested in getting into it.

The backcountry intro 1 day tour was great! It was the perfect introduction to backcountry skills, avalanche safety and equipment needed. It was an action packed day full of learnings. Lindsay was knowledgable, friendly and an excellent teacher. We look forward to joining a tour in future. Thank you!
