This course builds on the backcountry travel skills learned on a variety of day trips on the ATBO 152 Winter Backcountry Travel Level 1 course. Now these skills will be applied to a multi-day ski tour in high alpine terrain. More challenging conditions encountered will include skiing or split-boarding with a multi-day backpack, facing more exposure to the weather, having longer days of travel, and being more involved in the decision-making process. This course will include skills training sessions learning new skills (such as glacier travel, crevasse rescue, and white-out navigation), and will also involve travel days applying these new skills learned. This course could include some peak ascents if conditions are favorable.
