The third course of the Eastern Backcountry Education Program focuses on group activities including equipment checks and group travel in relation to food and hydration, route selection and safety. Participants will be using their newly acquired skills to make decisions and manage safety scenarios. An assessment at the end of the day will evaluate their progress. One of the days, we will be ascending to 4000 ft., weather permitting. Participants should be on Alpine Touring, Nordic or Split Board equipment.
