Our classic Intro to Backcountry lesson is a welcoming, beginner-friendly course geared toward never-evers and folks who have only clicked into their bindings in the backcountry a handful of times. This half-day course introduces newcomers to their touring gear and covers basic skinning techniques, backcountry etiquette, Leave No Trace best practices, and transitioning from uphill to downhill. You’ll leave this course acquainted with your gear and ready to hone your backcountry skills.
