Avalanche Awareness Clinic

Join members of Solitude's Professional Ski Patrol and Snow Safety team to learn how to travel responsibly and safely outside the resort boundaries. This two-day course is a great introduction to the identification of avalanche hazard and the skills to safely travel in the backcountry. We will focus on identifying avalanche terrain, analyzing snow and weather factors, managing group dynamics, and avalanche rescue skills. The morning of day one the guides will give a presentation on avalanches, and the rest of day one and two will be spent in the backcountry putting these concepts into action. http://skisolitude.com/backtracks
