Private Day
Private days are based out of Cooke City, MT. Depending on goals, skill level, and conditions, our experienced staff provides local knowledge and guidance in the "Mecca of Backcountry Skiing".
Our two to four-day clinics will build upon the skills and experiences that you have previously developed while backcountry skiing and riding. Our guides will teach you how to integrate mountaineering fundamentals and techniques with uphill and downhill travel. Technical skills in this course will cover ice axe use, steep snow climbing, crampon use and care, building snow anchors, and rope management on snow. The students of each course will cover snow pack and terrain assessment for planning route travel, and together will make informed decisions about our alpine objectives. Ski Mountaineering courses can be designed to meet student interest and different ability levels. These courses provide some of the best wilderness experiences the Beartooths can offer.
