Scheduled Course - Women's Wednesdays

Women's Wednesdays Backcountry Touring

Sneak out of the house and into the backcountry on Wednesdays with fellow women (anyone who identifies as she/her/they/them) this season. The plan is to meet at the trailhead at 9:30am and end the tour by 2:30pm, so that you can do life that day too!

Join when you can, guided group tours will be offered every other Wednesday as the season starts rolling.

Description:

This group tour is intended for participants with some b-c touring experience seeking relatable partners for the backcountry and looking to learn new terrain and avoid avalanches. Guides will select tour routes based on current snow conditions, weather forecast, avalanche risk and participant input. Fun snow and terrain will be the goal and a variety of drainages, bowls, peaks and glades will be toured throughout the season. These group tours will be offered from early January through March.
