Description

Are you an avid mountaineer? A snowshoer or a skier? Wondering how to tackle an iced water fall or a climbing route in the Bugaboos? Is there a skill or piece of gear that you want to know more about ? Or, maybe you’re a avid hiker and just want to learn to take advantage of nature more.
