A midsummer throwback to this past April’s Ski Mountaineering Expedition as part of the second year of the Outdoor Adventure Guide Diploma.

The students lived in huts atop the Wapta Icefield for a week. They worked to develop their glacier travel skills, crevasse rescue, expedition management and skied some epic 1000m runs in one of the most breathtaking settings on earth.

We’re very excited to see this group graduate in just 5 weeks time!
