Description

Backcountry ski touring is an amazing winter activity. It gives you the thrill of descents, while also providing you with the joy of exploring gorgeous natural areas. However, to best enjoy this amazing activity it is important to know how to enjoy it properly and safely. And that is why on this full day clinic, from 8 am to 4 pm, we will teach you all we know about backcountry ski touring. You will also have the added bonus of getting to learn in the beautiful Wasatch mountains of Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City.

During the clinic we will instruct you on the necessary techniques to enjoy great backcountry ski touring. Some examples of what will be covered during the clinic includes the following:

Equipment
Procedures for travel in avalanche terrain
Techniques for maximising efficiency on skins
Trail setting
Route selection
Proper procedures for descent in avalanche prone terrain
Techniques for skiing and boarding in untracked snow

You will also get to have a lot of fun during the clinic as you will get to ski down several of the area’s wonderful slopes. Thus giving you the opportunity to put what you have learned directly into practice.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.ments needed. As simple as can be!
