The Back Country Cross Country course provides the knowledge and skills required to enjoy X-C Skiing in the backcountry.  Courses are offered for both the beginner and intermediate skier.

The introductory course consists of a classroom session where we discuss equipment and skills, and a one day session when we practice beginning skills and do an easy tour. 

For the intermediate X-C skier who wants to be more comfortable off groomed trails or just ski a new area, our full-day ski tour will be on trails requiring intermediate X-C skiing ability.  We will cover off trail techniques and backcountry travel requirements. 

Includes guide, transportation from the Portland area, skis, boots, and poles, and lunch.
