This discounted course is for those who have the basics of gear and movement down, and are ready to expand their knowledge and ability to travel in the backcountry on a splitboard at the intermediate level. Your splitboard guide will cover tour planning as a splitboarder, split-specific travel techniques both uphill and down, refresh avalanche awareness/rescue and terrain recognition in the field. Your guide will give you tips on what the next steps are for your progression, and you will have a chance to meet potential touring partners that are the same ability level as you are.
