Description

We are pleased to offer ACC Vancouver members a
Ski Touring and Glacier Travel
Skills Course for 2021 in partnership
with Black Sheep
Adventure Sports.


This course is available to members as an
alternative to our volunteer-led Ski Touring and Glacier Travel
Skills Course (STGT) of previous years.


The course curriculum will expand upon
the content presented in Black Sheep Adventure
Sport’s Winter Crevasse Rescue & Glacier
Travel course, and be instructed over 4 field
days (2 back-to-back
weekends).

Come join Monte
Johnston along with a
enthusiastic team of ACMG certified instructors
to learn the skills you’ll need to ski or
snowboard in glaciated terrain.
