I took the Intro to backcountry skiing course with Dave, and it was exactly what I had hoped--very informative, with some great skiing mixed in. He took one other person and me up from the top of Red Mountain Pass to some great gladed tree skiing, and another run that was more open. More importantly he shared information on avalanche avoidance, safety, route finding, gear, and much more. The whole day was a mix of skinning, skiing, and lots of discussion to increase our comfort in the backcountry. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting a better understanding of how to enjoy and stay safe while skiing.
