Overview

Heading into the backcountry means being ready for the unexpected. In this two-hour session, we’ll cover the essentials of ski and splitboard touring repair kits, and basic first aid kits. What to carry, why it matters, and how to adapt your setup for your equipment, group size, and trip objective.

Outline

• Deep dive into backcountry repair kits: common issues and how to fix them.
• First aid essentials for winter travel, including cold exposure and overnight scenarios.
• Communication basics for emergencies using satellite devices.
