Want to take the tour even a little higher, WITH ROPES?  Ski mountaineering utilizes all the skills and techniques climbers learn in backcountry snow and alpine rock courses.  It is the ultimate climbing and skiing hybrid that facilitates access to more difficult snow covered peaks, high basins, rugged ridge lines, and steeper couloirs. The first two days of the course will be dedicated to skills and systems development as well as making turns.  Days three and four will be devoted to putting all of your ski mountaineering skills together on a bigger objective and includes a night out in the field.
