Anderson Ridge Tour 1 Day

This is a perfect follow up application tour to do after our Sugar Bowl Backcountry, Intro to Backcountry Skiing or for anyone with previous backcountry touring experience. It provides more application of skills with refinement through tips and coaching. We keep a more consistent pace and climb higher and farther with more ski descents than our "Intro" day.

We continue important practice with our avalanche safety skills.

Skills covered will include:

Group assesment
Pre-tour planning
Developing a safety plan
Transceiver, probe and shovel review
Hazards assessment
Uphill and downhill ski coaching
Time management on a tour
Reviewing group dynamics
Avoiding heuristic traps in the backcountry
Skiing as an efficient team with a guide

Cost: $165
