Private and Custom Courses

Choose the dates and topic for your course!

Check out these ideas:

  • Beginner to Advanced Backcountry Skills

    Safely learn the ways of Alaska’s backcountry! We offer courses from Intro to Backcountry, up to ski mountaineering and glacier travel.

  • Avalanche Awareness

    Schedule a weekend avalanche safety course for your group. Our highly experienced guides and avalanche forecasters can lead custom avalanche courses for all levels and have done so for groups ranging from first timers to professional skiers and snowboarders.

  • Avalanche Rescue

    Try a one-day course focused on companion rescue. We will cover the use of the avalanche beacon, shovel, and probe, and practice using them in a real environment. All gear can be rented, and custom courses can be arranged using the lift and not requiring hiking to the course site.

Private groups are $680/day for 1-4 students, $170/day for each additional student.

Avalanche safety equipment (beacon, shovel, and probe), as well as backcountry skis or splitboards with climbing skins are available to rent!
