Andrew McLean Clinic 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Andrew’s knowledge of travel in avalanche country will help you to make better decisions while navigating the Wasatch and beyond. Don’t miss the wealth of knowledge he can provide.
His passion for this sport has led to him being voted as one of the “Greatest Skiers of Our Time” by Powder Magazine and a featured segment in the Sony Classic Pictures 2007 film entitled Steep. Avalanche Avoidance Workshop
Avoiding avalanches is both an art and a science. While digging pits and checking in with the local forecast is important, knowing where, when and how to go somewhere in the mountains is as much, if not even more critical. In combination with a short tour, we will discuss avalanche avoidance strategies such as route finding, test slopes, terrain traps, aspects, elevations and group skiing strategies. All participants must have touring gear (skis/splitboard, skins, beacon, shovel, probe) for a short tour. |

Aaron Rice Clinic 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Aaron’s goal to ski 2.5 million vertical feet in a calendar year is ambitious to say the least. Learn how he does it by skiing the right way for the right day. Aaron’s dedication to the sport began in earnest while racing in high school and taking weekend trips with friends to Vermont and Maine.
TRIP PLAN: I have a lot of time on the skin track to think. I often come up with little sayings for myself to keep me motivated, on track, or safe. One such saying is “ski the right thing for the day”. On this 1:30-2hr tour we will do what makes the most sense for the day. It is always about the downhill experience for me above all and I will pick the terrain that is most appealing given snow and avalanche conditions. While I am out in the mountains every single day for 8-12 hours we will get an abridged version of what a day in the life looks like. ______________________________

Gemma’s Clinic 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Gemma’s come to us straight from Europe to “the greatest snow on Earth”. Gemma may be personally responsible for global warming. Why? Because she moves so fast. If you’re a racer, male or female come learn from Gemma and improve your on hill skinning. Gemma’s excitement is infectious and her smile will warm your heart.
