About Us
Mission
Our mission to cross country skiers, snowshoers, and backcountry snowboarders is two fold:
- Training Series. To provide an instructional
series in winter backcountry skills, both in a classroom setting
(one Saturday in January) and in two week-end field trips. A special
group for families interested in sharing this winter experience with
their children is also available.
- Scheduled Alumni Trips. To offer weekend (and longer) scheduled trips of various difficulty, under our experienced leadership, to those who have completed our training series.
