The most extreme snowboarders in North America do not call Jackson Hole their home because they were raised here. The cream of the snowboard school including ASSI elite Team Member Mikey Franco, will teach skills crucial to big mountain riding. Campers will be encouraged to explore chutes, trees, and steep terrain. I was amazed at the way he could get us to exit our comfort zones and try things we might otherwise not attempt. His instruction to approach the steeps with control rather than blind adrenaline made all the difference in the world.
Campers also learn basic rope handling, terrain evaluation, and avalanche safety awareness.
Based on your ability, graduation day may include a drop, ride, or rappel into Corbet's Couloir. A guided backcountry experience is offered for advanced riders.
