Some of the greatest accents in North American mountaineering history have come from the ambitious youth of our collegiate outdoors programs. From the Harvard route on MT. Huntington to the role that Dartmouth has played throughout the northeast it is often the passion of our college programs that have lead the way. It is our hope as guides to help the next generation of mountaineers find and pursue their own passion for ski mountaineering.
With this in mind we would like to extend to you an invitation to the 2009 Collegiate Ski/Snowboard Mountaineering Camp. Held annually on the snow and glaciated slopes of the 14,162 ft. MT Shasta this course was created specifically for college students wishing to expand their scope of mountaineering and skiing skill.
