Kootenay Cold Smoke Backcountry Festival March 5th - 8th, 2010

Customized Backcountry Touring Groups
Whitewater Ski Resort offers the chance to explore and brush up on your skills in the bowls and steep trees found in the backcountry around the ski resort. You and your friends or family can enjoy a day of touring with the guidance of our Snow Safety Instructors. The day will start with a review of proper use of equipment and skins, how to prepare for the trip, route finding and safe travel in avalanche terrain. Physical ability of the group will dictate the type and amount of skiing accomplished in the day.

All skiers or riders in the group must be advanced and have some avalanche safety awareness.

Groups must book at least 2 days in advance and have a minimum of 3 participants and maximum of 12 participants per group.

Prices:

• Full day course & mountain lunch: $135
