Yes, it is true; you do not have to be an expert or master powder skier to participate in one of our adventures.

Our intermediate level is our most important level for many reasons. It is the introduction to the backcountry experience for people who have not yet experienced it. It helps them work toward what everyone craves: powder, faces shots and the camaraderie of skiing in a small group on ungroomed terrain.

At this level, we will ski mostly gentle, wide open runs or runs with sparse trees. Your guides will offer detailed instruction, assistance with your gear and helping you out of the snow.

Skiers and snowboarders at this level are strong intermediates who:

• may have no powder experience.
• are confident on blue runs and will occasionally ski black runs on a lift served ski area.
• are comfortable making smooth parallel turns.
• enjoy new challenges.
• seek to build their powder confidence.
