Similar to the Wasatch Mavens, this program is a season-long backcountry development series meant to bring the men in our community together over a common passion of skiing & riding outside the confines of the resort.
This mentorship is spread out over a full winter season so skiers and riders can learn to analyze the changing snowpack, develop a broader knowledge of backcountry terrain in the Wasatch, practice and implement decision-making skills in avalanche terrain, expand on avalanche study and awareness, bond with fellow backcountry enthusiasts and build a deeper connection with experts in the field.
Topics Include:
NOTE: Guides plan to cover the skills and objectives listed above in detail and will assign primary objectives a day or 2 prior depending on weather and conditions, for example, we don't want to waste a perfectly good powder day on rescue & beacon drills.
