About

Are you nervous about signing up for and participating in a guided tour for the first time? Are you thinking of questions like, What should I bring? What should I know? We will help you to resolve such concerns. Before heading out to ski the mountains, we teach the minimum skills you need to have a fun ride. We teach everything from how to use a beacon and read the terrain to knowing what kind of equipment you need. This experience is for learning about BC only and does not include skiing.
