Removing skins in the wind is a huge pain. We like to reduce the likelihood of the skins sticking to things it shouldn’t by removing the skins halfway, folding the tail into the middle, then removing the rest of it and folding the tip into the middle.

If the snow conditions allow you to shove the end of the ski into it, you should do so!

Another full weekend of AIARE 1 courses in Tahoe and Mammoth! Avalanche education is a critical part of recreating responsibly in the backcountry-whether you’re touring, snowshoeing, or riding beyond the ropes. Understanding snowpack, terrain, and decision-making can quite literally save lives.

We have very limited availability for upcoming AIARE 1 courses in Tahoe and Mammoth, plus one spot left for AIARE 2 in Tahoe over the upcoming holiday weekend (Jan 17).

The snow dances worked and the Christmas storm really took Tahoe from zero to hero…backcountry skiing and avalanche courses are officially in full swing!

Avalanche education is essential for backcountry travel—whether you’re on skis, a splitboard, or snowshoes.
We run Avalanche 1 and Avalanche Rescue courses every weekend in Tahoe and Mammoth, with a few spots still available in our Tahoe AIARE Level 2 course over the upcoming long weekend January 17-19.

Learn the skills. Build confidence. Travel smarter in the backcountry.
