Mt. Baker Backcountry Ski & Ride Course
Posted by: James Bealer
Categories: Expedition Dispatches North Cascades
This weekend our Backcountry Ski and Ride course had an excellent time learning the fundamentals of backcountry skiing. Saturday gave us a light dusting of fresh snow as we practiced our rescue skills and learned how to move as a group in the backcountry.
The next day, we practiced making terrain decisions and students navigated the group through the ascents and descents of our long tour. We ended up having beautiful weather for most of the course and had the whole mountain to ourselves on Sunday.
Our students are excited to use their new skills for upcoming ski descents of local Washington mountains as well as skiing corn with their friends.
