Homewood Mountain Resort has expanding its learning opportunities and is now back-country workshops including avalanche safety courses and sessions for experienced back-country enthusiasts in partnership with NASTC and the U.S. Forest Service.
“As more and more people venture into the uncontrolled, unpatrolled back country, we recognize there is an increased need for educational opportunities so they can be prepared to make good decisions and know how to evaluate both the snowpack and terrain,” said Kevin Mitchell, general manager of Homewood Mountain Resort, in a press release. “The new courses we’ve introduced are a natural extension of our Snowcat Adventure offering and a next step for advanced skiers and riders who intend to spend time exploring the backcountry.”
Workshops include Introduction to Backcountry Skiing/Riding, Private Backcountry Touring,
AIARE Level 1 and Level 2 avalanche courses, and guided snowcat tours. | skihomewood.com
