Skills to Pay the Bills - Intro to Backcountry clinic- Nelson BC

  • 2018-12-05 16:33:36
    Are you new to the backcountry and want to build a solid foundation before you head out of bounds? Do you already have some experience, but maybe want a fresh reminder before you head out for the new season? Gals. This may be the clinic for you!

    Come join us and ACMG guide Laura Adams for a day in the backcountry that focuses on avalanche search and rescue techniques, travel skills, and terrain and gear management. We'll end the day with an after-shred mixer and photo review at the tasting room at Nelson Brewing Company!

    This clinic will cost $180 plus tax. 10% discount if you bring a friend, or if you sign up for another Pow Gals Clinic. 10% of fees going to the Nelson and District Youth Centre!

    Message us for more info! We'd be happy to answer any questions you may have!
