BACKCOUNTRY BOOT CAMP

This experiential, four-day camp is perfect for the upper-intermediate to advanced skier who is interested in expanding their skiing possibilities and venturing out-of-ski-area boundaries.

During this course skiers are taught essential backcountry basics from trained, experienced MWSC coaches and local professionals. Athletes will learn to assess avalanche potential, properly use rescue equipment, rescue a buried partner, and travel safely in the backcountry. Most importantly, skiers learn by doing though a hands-on approach in a small group of their peers. 

Athletes enrolled in the Big Mountain Freeski seasonal program are required to attend the Backcountry Boot Camp. Registration for non-seasonal athletes is open here.
