Instructional Videos

Every student learns at a different pace, and with the condensed nature of the Intense Basic course, it's easy to feel like you haven't quite mastered a skill when we have to move on to a different topic. These videos help students feel more prepared coming into the course, and also act as references throughout the summer as the skills are being put to the test in the alpine environment.
