Backcountry Ski and Splitboard Instruction

Colorado backcountry can be a great place to enjoy solitude and fresh lines, but a basic skill set is important to have before heading out on your own. Our team of avalanche professionals will provide safe spaces for learning while also finding the best stashes of snow. Both Ski and Splitboard options available.
