We go out and explore the backcountry just outside the ski resort on skis and snowboards. It's a great day to get a taste of the fresh snow away from the crowds.

Elodie was a great teacher and guide. Lots of good learning and lots of laughs! We had a ton of snow and were able to get some great turns and good practice on life saving skills.

Adrian made the classroom / outdoor session as enjoyable as possible, would definitely recommend using these guys if it’s something you’re interested in getting in to. Will be booking more courses through MSAA to progress in the backcountry.

Had a great time! Our guide was Rob and he did a great job explaining what the day would look like and going over what to expect. He was very patient with me and took time to answer my questions and wait for me on the uphill hikes. I would highly recommend taking this course if you have never been in the back country before. There is a lot you need to know to stay safe.
Great intro to backcountry

This was a great intro to backcountry skiing! I learned the fundamentals of gear, prep, and the terrain. Daniel was our guide for the day and was very informative and friendly with lots of experience and knowledge. Even made a nice conversational pit for lunch! I would highly recommend if anyone is interested in getting into it.
Thanks Phil for the all...

The backcountry intro 1 day tour was great! It was the perfect introduction to backcountry skills, avalanche safety and equipment needed. It was an action packed day full of learnings. Lindsay was knowledgable, friendly and an excellent teacher. We look forward to joining a tour in future. Thank you!
