Glacier Travel

Back by popular demand, Girls Do Ski is stoked to deliver this hands-on workshop to let you learn the ropes from some of the best female guides around.

This three-day course is for expert downhill skiers and riders who want to learn how to safely and efficiently travel on glaciated terrain, whether it be small-scale day trips or multi-day traverses. Your ACMG guide will coach you through how and when to rope up on glaciers,  procedures for rappelling into steeps, and guide scenarios to practice simple and advanced crevasse rescue techniques. A key component of this course will be terrain assessment, which means developing a deeper understanding your gear, rescue procedures, and your dynamic surroundings.

You are required to bring your own gear. We want you to be confident and efficient with your own tools. We will provide a list of what to bring so you don’t forget a thing! This camp is open to expert skiers who have at least 15 days of ski touring experience.
Please ensure your are comfortable with touring gear in advance to ensure we can focus on improving our use of glacier travel equipment.

In preparation for this course, you will receive some reading materials and homework.
