Sidecountry skiing is lift accessed, remote resort area skiing and lift accessed backcountry skiing with little or no patrolling by Ski Patrollers.
The class is for people who are ready to venture farther out but have little awareness of the hazards to be confronted such as cliffs, tree wells, avalanches and the risk of getting lost.
The class begins with a two-hour slide presentation and discussion followed by an on-snow training session.
During this workshop students will learn transceiver use and avalanche rescue leadership through hands-on practice and realistic scenarios.
