SKI MOUNTAINEERING
Description:
Aimed at skiers who wish to ski off piste and enter the winter world of virgin snow. Venture into valleys, climb peaks, ski dizzy descents; and all in a totally different environment of solitude and crisp, clean snow. Also ideal for mountaineers or climbers who wish to learn the basic techniques of ascending and descending fresh snow, in order to gain more autonomy on snow-covered mountains.
