Intro To Backcountry Program

Description

In 2024 we offered this program almost evert Saturday and Sunday January - March 2024 on Mt. Washington in Jackson, New Hampshire.

We developed our Intro to Backcountry Program with the aim of providing participants the opportunity to get introduced to the backcountry on the East Coast, learn about essential equipment, techniques, interpersonal skills, and special considerations when traveling outside of the resort environments. As with all of our programs we place a high priority on creating a welcoming, inclusive, and empowering space for all individuals. This program is fully guided by professional instructors and is permitted through the White Mountain National Forest. This course is designed for those with some touring experience, but little to no backcountry experience. This is not an avalanche education course and it does not enter avalanche terrain. You do not need a beacon, shovel, or probe to join this course.
