One of the companies I work for was looking into setting up a ski mountaineering course this winter. It could take a lot of formats, AVIE 1 would be a prerequisite, but could also be combined into the course. And depending on the group's level / interest, it could be an intro into backcountry, or more alpine specific, using ropetricks and all the rest. It would be taught by an AMGA certified alpine guide. Anywhere from a 1 day intro to multi-day technical course.
I think most people who have taken a backcountry course know how beneficial it is. You get a lot more out of your days after it. At least that’s been my experience. Of course a maggot deal could be worked out if a group was put together. Thoughts?
