Hi everyone,
Very new to summitpost, so please be forgiving if I posted this at the wrong place. I'm trying to get more into backcountry skiing and will be getting my AVIARE1 soon. I wanted to see if people know of any good organizations and what not that would be planning backcountry ski trips as I would love to take part in group trips to further develop my skills. I tried looking into the sierra club, but it seems covid might have shut things down. Would people know of other orgs that run such trips?
Also if it seems every major org is no longer running these trips. Do people know if there is such a thing as mentor/mentee relationship in backcountry skiing? I come from a climbing background and I know its not uncommon for people to reach out and search for a mentor. Is something like that commonplace in the backcountry skiing community? And if so where would I go to start searching for a mentor
cheers, Watson from NorCal
