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.
