Basic Backcountry Skiing and Riding (AT/Tele/Splitboard) Course

This badge represents the successful completion of the Basic Backcountry Skiing and Riding (AT/Tele/Splitboard) Course. This course is designed for those that are “new to the backcountry,” (but not to skiing) who plan to travel on AT skis, splitboards, or telemark skis. This course gives students the tips and tricks necessary to get comfortable and be confident in the backcountry. Backcountry skiing and snowboarding is basically a different sport than the resort equivalents, and it takes a lot of knowledge to get out there. While it takes most strong skiers and snowboarders years to feel comfortable and confident in the backcountry, we saw our students make this same progress in one season!
