Glacier Travel and Skiing

There are two principal aims of this course:

1. To ski glacial terrain in such a way as to avoid going into a slot and what to do if you or one of your buddies does so.
2. Glacial snow can be some of the best in the world. It can also be extremely challenging. You might as well ski it well. While we’re skiing around, we will also examine both the fundamentals of effective ski technique and some coping strategies when it’s all getting a bit out of hand.
