break into the backcountry skiing - February 15, 2020
Interested in breaking into back-country skiing? There are important requirements: You must have prior skiing experience, the right equipment and have training in the risks of backcountry skiing. Having the ability to make parallel turns can be very helpful. The second requirement will be the possession of an avalanche beacon, avalanche shovel, probe and have the training to use that equipment. We strongly encourage all participants to attend classes and continuing to refresh their avalanche awareness. To advance and be included in further ski tours, you must have the avalanche training and become a member of the Wasatch Mt. Club.
