...Exploring Canada's Rocky Mountains on Skis
Introduction to Powder Ski Touring Courses from Heli Canada Adventures!
By using normal downhill skis with a special binding (which pivots at the toe of the boot and can lock down the heel), powder ski touring lets you explore deep into untouched skiing wilderness. Sticky skiing skins let you climb with ease, while the heel lock makes downhill skiing a breeze. Snowboarding enthusiasts are welcome on our courses: we highly recommend split boards, and good snowboarding skills to keep up with those who are skiing. Heli Canada Adventures' introduction to powder ski touring courses take place in Rogers Pass, located in Canada's Glacier National Park. Snowfalls are legendary here, preserving the ancient glaciers that still hang in alpine valleys. Winter brings a special magic: blue skies make diamonds out of the snow's surface, and if snow is falling, it means even better powder skiing!
The introduction to powder ski touring courses are designed for those just beginning their ski touring training. Participants should have a moderate fitness level, and be able to link 10 turns skiing a blue-run ski hill without falling.
Heli Canada Adventures can also meet most custom needs and dates, including incorporating ski touring training into a corporate incentive or teambuilding program: we look forward to working with you to customize your powder ski touring training. Contact us or call 1-877-837-5417 (toll free in North America) for more information. Exclusive Backcountry Adventures - It's Our Guarantee.
