The Wasatch has been a proving ground for budding ski and splitboard mountaineers for decades. Our mountains are full of worthy objectives guarded by steep and technical terrain. These same mountains have also been great training for the bigger ranges for those with wider aspirations.
This Ski & Splitboard Mountaineering Course is for experienced backcountry skiers AND riders who want to ride steep and technical terrain that might involve rope work, rappelling, or glacial travel. Our goal will be to use the tools and techniques taught in the course to summit and ski, bigger, technical objectives
This camp was envisioned by John Lemnotis AMGA Splitboard/Ski guide and IFMGA mountain guide and owner, Carl Dec.

We recommend using your own splitboard or touring skis so you’re comfortable with your gear. That said, if you’ve been using snowshoes or Verts, this clinic is a great opportunity to step into a full touring setup and learn how to use it effectively.
It is preferred that you have your own technical gear, including an Ice Axe and Crampons. If you are in need of some of the equipment, we can provide it.
