Youth Ski Mountaineering Camp 5 Day
Tioga Pass, Sierra Nevada
This 5-day program is designed to take strong skiing young athletes (age 13-17) into a high alpine backcountry environment to practice travel, climbing with skins, steep skiing and mountaineering technique to help increase safety and security.

The guides will be Eric DesLauriers and Peter Mayfield. Both are exceptionally qualified professional ski mountaineering guides with great experience teaching and coaching young skiers. They are both AMGA certified guides.
