About the event
Our courses this season will be offered on:
- December 8th - 10th
- January 12th - 14th
The course focuses on avalanche terrain, snowpack analysis, companion rescue, navigation, and group management. Participants can expect to gain the necessary skills to travel in the backcountry and to ride fun lines safely by dialing in efficient up-tracking and terrain assessment for the easiest, safest ascent route. This course is intended for Black, Indigenous, and women and gender expansive folks of colour, and will be taking place on the unceded land of the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh and Lil̓wat7úl First Nations, at Whistler Blackcomb. This course consists on one classroom session and two days out in the snow.The fee for this course, if selected, will be $50. Rentals for any required gear will be facilitated through our friends at Evo and lift tickets will be provided by Epic Promise if you do not have one. If you have any concerns about gear or time commitment for the course, please feel free to reach out either via Instagram or email us at info.incluskivity@gmail.com.
