Skiing open glades of Colorado powder, steep chutes of Alaska or descending 6000 feet into Chamonix Valley, France requires more than just good skiing ability, it requires sound technical mountain skills. It boils down to knowledge of your environment, skiing ability, judgment and skills. As such Pikes Peak Alpine School prides itself on being the oldest and best qualified provider of avalanche education.
