PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // Are you interested in ski touring but not sure where to start? Here’s the perfect opportunity to discover the sport in an inclusive, non-competitive atmosphere! Our introductory ski touring day in the Eastern Townships is designed for skiers and snowboarders who want to learn the basics of ski touring, such as managing gear and clothing, ascending techniques, and transitions. Groups of 8 people are formed in advance and paired with a duo of experienced Chèvres instructors to adapt to each participant’s skill level and pace. The goal is for you to get started and learn in a positive, safe, and enjoyable environment. Equipment rentals available!
Whether you want to try splitboarding or ski touring, our team will guide you through this memorable day at Mont Sutton ski resort. The terrain is accessible to all skill levels, so beginners can take it easy and stay within their limits. The resort's chalet is also available for warming up. The touring initiation day is a great opportunity to meet other women who are new to the sport and enjoy the outdoors together.
