Clinic Description: Snowboarding in the backcountry often has its own rhythm and line choice. This is a wide ranging tour that will include route finding and safety as well as exploring some of the great terrain that the Whitewater backcountry has to offer. Learn the many tricks of touring on snowboards, from climbing to assessing terrain and conditions. Splitboards or snowshoes.

* Includes Lift Ticket - if you are a season pass holder you can get a refund at the Whitewater office *

General Clinic Information:On Sunday the bulk of the in area clinics will run all day, rather then ½ day. This gives students and instructors more time to work together and gives the day a more relaxed pace (after Saturday night this might be a good thing!).
