Itinerary:
Day 1 - Warm up ski, transceiver training. Start exploring.
Day 2 - Searching for snow, Ski Ski!
Day 3 - Ski touring (skin) into the backcountry to find untracked snow and have an adventure, Unless there's buckets of snow and no
need!
Day 4 - Get in to some steeper terrain if we haven't already!
Day 5 - Play time, Option to do reverse Heli-ski which involves a long off-piste descent, get picked up by helicopter and brought back to the
resort, (extra cost applies, but not too much!)
We will usually stop for an hour for lunch either a snack or restaurant as preferred by the group.
Gear:
-
Off-piste skis with a waist width of 95-105, Ideally bring touring skis but these can be hired in resort if and when we might do some
skinning.
-
Bring a back pack, capable of carrying avalanche safety equipment, Around 20l - 30l, the latter is better for touring and with some method
for carrying skis. All this can be provided.
-
Helmet definitely recommended.
Note on airbags pack packs, these are a great added extra if you have one but by no means a substitute for knowing how to use your transceiver,
shovel and probe.
