Winter Skills Weekend
An
adventurous trip into the backcountry where you will learn the basics of winter
survival in the mountains. Saturday will be spent skiing into a beautiful
alpine area while learning how to safely travel through this environment. The
highlight will be learning to build a real igloo which you will depend upon to
shelter you for the night. You will be amazed how warm they will keep you. The
next day will be spent skiing around camp before heading back to the highway
and the lodge for homemade soup and snacks before heading home.
