Backcountry Skiing & Splitboard Clinic at Alta Lodge with Utah Mountain Adventures
Tue Mar 13 - Sat Mar 17

"The trip had started atop the Supreme chairlift at Alta, and by day's end we had made the first (and only) tracks down two bowls, climbed the East Ridge of Tuscarora Mountain , dabbled in Wolverine cirque, and descended Patsy Marley. What a way to exercise, ski, experience wilderness, and meet new friends." David Arnold, Mass.
