We begin with six days of workshops, including a Level I avalanche clinic and two days advancing your telemark skills with professional ski instructors at Grand Targhee Resort. Then, we’ll move into the backcountry for miles of skiing in unblemished powder. You’ll build elaborate snow kitchens and camp comfortably in snow caves, igloos or quinzhees.
With coaching from your instructors, you’ll teach classes of your own and be taught by fellow students. For educators of all levels, teaching in the winter will polish your presentation skills and hone your class management.
The longest of our winter courses, these 21 days provide some of the best expedition training at the school, preparing you to camp and lead well in any cold, snowy environment.
