Backcountry Skiing Skills
Join Clearwater Sports for an adventurous ski workshop in the solitude of the backwoods of Vermont. This five hour program teaches the beginner or intermediate backcountry skier all of the techniques necessary to become a safe off trail skier. The first basic skill to be taught will be the kick and glide technique. Once the kick and glide is mastered on the flats, the group will start to take their skills into the backcountry. In the afternoon, groups will learn the basics of the telemark turn, perhaps the most important tool in the backcountry skiers bag. It is a day full of fun and learning and will help build your skills and confidence to head into the mountains.
