EXP387 advances the fundamental concepts and standard practices that are the foundation of extended backcountry skiing. These include advanced skiing skills in backcountry terrain, navigation and route finding in mountains, basic snow climbing techniques and strategies for risk management. The class continues to identify the reflective expeditionary process, here providing theoretical foundations and rationales for the application of backcountry skiing skills in a self-supported, multi-day backcountry setting. (Spring). Prerequisite: POI.
-
3.00 Credits
The third of three ski process courses, EXP388 emphasizes the core competences required in ski mountaineering.
