Join me on this adventure and I will help take your ski mountaineering to the next level, as we indulge in a 3-day ski mountaineering camp in California. We will head to Mount Lassen or Mount Shasta and put to practice the skills we learn during the course.
Over the course of the 3 days, we will be teaching you advanced ski mountaineering skills and techniques in order to increase your confidence and ability to tackle more challenging adventures. Skills covered include assessing and managing snowpack stability, decision-making, entrance management, cornice management, and advanced skiing.
The views from each mountain are jaw-dropping and breath-taking, with the superb and sublime alpine scenery of the Californian countryside stretching out beneath us, and the rest of the mighty Sierra Nevada range looming large above it all. You can find an outline of the itinerary below.
