Tips-for-beginning-backcountry-skiers

Is backcountry ski touring for you?

Backcountry skiing is growing exponentially in popularity and we noticed that while there’s a lot of advice out there, it didn’t seem like anyone had put it all (or much of it) in one place.

The purpose of this little book is to help those who are new to backcountry ski touring, or considering taking it up, to sort through many of the decisions that you’ll have to make as someone beginning the sport. In it we cover safety, gear, technique, trip planning and group management.

Available as a free, downloadable, 32-page PDF file only (in English or French). Complete and submit the form below and you’ll be able to access and download the book.

We hope you enjoy it.

“What a fantastic book! I just read through it and it really covers everything our beginner backcountry touring clients want to know -- and what they ask about! Can we share this with our clients? Great work, we love it!”
