Each week SoVTA’s Executive Director Steve Petrik will take a group out and work on the skills new and seasoned users need to be safe and efficient in backcountry touring. This will be an informal, low-pressure clinic with a focus on fun and enjoying the natural resource that is the Dover Town Forest. The topics will change from week to week depending on the conditions and the skill level of the group. They will try to post the skills that you will be working on the week before, so you can plan ahead but again these clinics will be tailored to the group and the conditions the day of. These tours are open to everyone and are no drop. They ask that you can comfortably ski or ride in the moderately pitched tree’d terrain. This is not a Ski or Snowboard lesson. These tours are weather dependent, so please visit their website and Instagram for the most up-to-date information and Required Equipment List. You can also reach them via email at events2022@sovta.org.
