Steeps in the Backcountry

Clinic Date: Sunday March 7, 2010 - All Day

Spaces Remaining: 6 / Capacity: 10

Ability Level:  Advanced (Ability Assessment)

Clinic Codes: 311BC - Out of Bounds Clinic

Staff: Eric Pehota

All out of bounds clinics require safety gear (shovel, probe, and beacon). In addition, skins and a day pack with lunch and liquid will be needed as all out of bound clinics will run all day. Unless otherwise indicated, all out of bounds clinics are open to free heel, fixed heel, and boards, based on ability level. The tours will be out for the day so be fit and ready to climb and ski!

Clinic Description: Eric has been one of the pioneers of steep ski descents in Canada. This is the fourth year Eric has led these tours and he has consistently been able to get skiers to safely ski lines they would normally shy away from. Join him in assessing and skiing some of the bountiful steep terrain found in the Whitewater backcountry. This tour is for strong advanced skiers.

* 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!).
