The Backcountry Program has been up to some fun! Both the mini mountaineers and 4 month program are in full swing. This means 30 kids are skiing up snow king on Thursdays! All of the training at Snow King has really paid off.

A big highlight of January was the backcountry program's first ever trip! We headed as a group to a backcountry ski lodge in the Bitterroot mountains of Montana. The hut is called Downing Mountain Lodge, and it is far different from a typical "yurt"!

December was the official start of our program! The dry start to the winter was no problem for our program. We got to brush up on some of our skills like map reading, working on our equipment, and hiked up to the top of Snow King a couple of times.

Our season officially kicked off this week! We have a great crew of 15 athletes in the 4 month program. There is no snow to skin up snow king yet but the athletes are spending time dialing in their equipment, training with their beacons, and getting to know each other.
