Backcountry Workshop–Taught by the Best. Get There!

Thirteen years after its first edition, the Backcountry Workshop gets going February 22-23, at Arapahoe Basin. This is a great opportunity industry and shop employees to hone their backcountry skills and hang with like-minded folks. Again–this is for outdoor industry folks only, so click through to the website if you need more particulars. Cost is $69 for one day; $99 for both.

Among the speakers will be Martin Volkien, Swiss superguide; Ace Kvale, pro photographer and world traveler; and Andrew McLean, renowned ski-mountaineer. The event runs two days and covers topics like avalanche decision-making, orienteering, skinning technique, and other essentials. Kvale will give a slideshow (this is open to the public) and there will be a monster raffle, with at least $2500 worth of gear given away. Check it out!
