Temple Basin: Intro to Ski Touring

With the glaciated peaks of the main divide of the Southern Alps in our backyard, steep inbounds chutes and mellow rolling alpine slopes and tarns, Temple Basin has perfect ski touring terrain suitable for all level groups!

This course is ideal for you if you want to get out and explore the backcountry and need a place to begin. The course will give you the tools and knowledge required to make basic decisions on your own and make you aware of how to increase your knowledge in the future.

This course can also help if you’ve been into the backcountry a few times and want to solidify what you do and don’t know.
