If you're new to ski touring & splitboarding or have some experience already this is a great course to get you comfortable in some new areas with a certified guide. this course is also an excellent follow up to an AST 1 course.

Our guides will give instruction on powder skiing, ski touring and splitboarding techniques and will aim to help you achieve your goals while keeping things safe and fun. The program is a perfect progression to our 3 day Powder Warrior course, and after this one of our Spring Ski Expeditions !
