Description

**This course is currently full.**

January 2025 sees the return of the popular ACC Vancouver Intro to Backcountry Ski & Splitboarding (IBS) course.

This course will be held over one full weekend and includes classroom sessions, reviews, and two days of field work touring in the Hope and Coquihalla Pass area.

The IBS course was designed with BEGINNER ski tourers and split boarders in mind. Therefore, it is very important to understand we are looking for people with very little experience.

The course will take place in Hope, BC and the course times will be as follows:

Friday – 6:30pm meetup in Hope

Saturday – All day

Sunday – All day

COST: $120

***WHAT’S INCLUDED***

  • Classroom sessions and reviews along with two full days of leading and instruction in Coquihalla Pass

***WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED***

  • Accommodation. Students will be responsible for arranging their own stay in Hope, BC for two nights (Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd). We are more than happy to help facilitate sharing options in motels, etc
  • Meals/Food/Drinks. Students will be responsible for their own food while in Hope during the course. There are many eateries and grocery stores in the area.
  • Carpooling. Students will be responsible for getting to and from Hope. We are more than happy to help facilitate carpooling groups/options.
  • Equipment/AVI gear. Students will be responsible for having all the required and necessary equipment for the course. The ACC-Vancouver does not rent touring gear.
