Backcountry Ski Clinics
For Beginning and Intermediate Skiiers
These clinics are designed to help you improve your backcountry skills and do a lot of great skiing at the same time.
The intermediate courses are based at the Trophy Mountain Cabin, where the fantastic combination of big mountains, steep slopes and deep powder will provide the perfect setting to hone your skiing.
Beginners' courses are based at the Fight Chalet, where we explore some of the best touring terrain in B.C. with plenty of vertical to ease you into the delights of the turning tour!
We guarantee that you will be overwhelmed with the vast beauty of either place you choose. The trips are 5 days and include your stay in the chalet, food, safety equipment, guide, and the helicopter in for the Fight Meadow trip.
