BACKCOUNTRY SKI COURSES

Backcountry Ski Movement

Master the fundamentals of movement on skis.

Our Backcountry Ski Movement course focuses on the small but essential techniques that make uphill travel easier, downhill skiing smoother, and transitions more efficient.

You’ll practice everything from skinning stride and kick turns to body positioning for variable snow and effective use of poles. We’ll look at how to move with balance and fluidity in challenging terrain, conserve energy over long tours, and handle tricky sections with confidence.

This course is available from December through March and is offered on a private basis, please reach out for availability & questions.
