All of our courses are taught in the backcountry, on the wide variety of snow conditions provided by nature. You should realize that backcountry skiing is very different from skiing on a carefully prepared surface at nordic or alpine ski centers. The difficulty of the skiing can vary tremendously with different snow conditions, therefore we suggest you rate your ability conservatively. If you're unsure of your ability, contact us and we will determine your skiing level according to our definition. To meet your particular scheduling requirements, any of these courses, and all advanced skiing instruction, can be arranged through Private Instruction .
Students provide their own nordic ski equipment for all ski courses.
Please contact us for specific recommendations and rental information. All of the courses in this section are 'Day Courses'. When you register for a course we'll send you information to help you arrange for you own accommodations to suit your preferences. Skiers should be able to comfortably ski the 'more difficult' trails at most nordic ski areas before enrolling in these courses. If you want to extend your skiing into the backcountry and you are capable of covering at least 7 miles of touring center trails per day, these courses will be appropriate for you.
