Basic Cross Country (Nordic) Skiing

This series of four lectures and 1 day field trip will include an orientation to backcountry travel, avalanche awareness and safety, route selection, cold weather ailments, clothing, and equipment.

Even if you already know how to ski or snowshoe, the training in avalanche terrain recognition and avalanche avoidance, is well worth taking the class and improving your safety in the backcountry.

Students may take the  Nordic ski course or the  Snowshoeing course separately, or both together.  If taking both courses, both field trips are required. A $20.00 discount can be applied if you pay for both courses at the same time. Use a one time discount code of CO17SHOESKI20 when registering.
