2nd course added:
This on-hill backcountry ski improvement course is aimed at improving overall ski ability and developing skills specific for backcountry skiing.
The course is led by CSIA Level 4 instructor and long-time backcountry skier and climber Piotr Smolik of Peak2Peak Adventures.
The morning session will focus on overall individual ski improvement. Over the lunch hour participants will review video of themselves skiing and receive feedback. The afternoon will focus on skills specific for the backcountry such as skiing bumps, uneven terrain and pitches, skiing with a pack on, etc.
Participants should be intermediate skiers comfortable with linked parallel turns on blue runs.
