IMPORTANT WAITLIST NOTE: For events that reach capacity, we encourage you to ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITLIST by completing the online registration process and clicking WAITLIST. If there is enough interest on waitlist and we have staff available, we could open another group. When and if a spot opens up, waitlisted registrations will be automatically added to the event and your card will be charged at that time. You will get a confirmation email when your card is charged and your registration confirmed. Please understand we will do our best to get you into the event if possible, but please don’t make any firm plans unless you get a confirmation that you’re officially registered for the event. If you want to be removed from the waitlist at any point, you can do so in “My Events” in your member portal, or please call the Eastern office (518) 452-6095 during regular hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm EST.

Course Description:
Light touring gear as compared to performance track gear is recommended. Ankle high boots with support, 75 mm, NNN BC or SNS BC bindings and skis with waist of 50-60 mm and tip/tail 70-85 ¾ edge (your choice, no matter) are recommended. Climbing, descending and traveling in off-piste snow will be covered in the technique area as well as fitting equipment. What should go in a daypack and how to use will also be covered. A long day tour or two tours, depending on the situation, will allow us to practice what we will be discussing. Climbing, traveling, descending, transitioning, hydration, energy, timing and orienteering will be topical areas we will cover in greater depth before departing or en route.
