    • Info:

      Backcountry 101 is a designed for those new to the back country and those wanting a ground- up refresher.  Heavy on practical, usable skills and local information, this is a great place to start building your avalanche skills.  You will leave this class understanding the basics of safely travelling in avalanche terrain and sporting a great foundation for learning more.  The Utah Avalanche Center has teamed up with SheJumps to bring you this women's only course. 

      We created this new course to answer the question we hear a lot:  "I'm new to the back country and want to know how to have fun without getting scared or hurt.  What do I need to know to ski / ride avalanche smart in the Utah backcountry?"
