While most time in the mountains is spent fighting gravity; skiing
allows one to be released from those chains. No moment is as unforgettable
or euphoric as the feeling of weightlessness as one makes turns through
snow.
When skiing at a resort much time is spent searching out little pockets
of untracked snow or waiting in a lift line to be as close to that
precious first chair as possible. This isn't the experience that skiing
has to be, if you are willing to put the effort in to learn a few new
skills they can open an untracked world.
Whether you have never been backcountry skiing before and want to push
the boundaries of the resort or your experienced in the backcountry
looking to ski technical lines Mountain Corn Adventures can help you make
that step.
Courses:
Backcountry basics : In this course skills students will get off the

the mountains on their own. Skills covered will include but not be limited
to skinning, reading snow, route finding/ hazard management and beacon
