we lernt basic mountain skills including crampon walking(sound dumb but there is alot of different was to utilise the crampon and use mininal energy) avalanch prediction and rescue, multi pitching(including different types of anchurs) , ridge travel and offen the one most people get wrong decenting.
the fist two nights we stayed in the lodge on the mountain and on the last night we made snow caves witch was vey cool... cold. was sill warmer than out in the wind.
no epics on this trip. i took my board up got about 45 min until i couldnt see the jump, was still fun.
