Recognizing the need for a comprehensive ski-mountaineering educational program we are returning into Lake Clark National Park's stunning and remote Neacola Mountains in 2009, where we'll enjoy 10-full days of Alaska ski-mountaineering lessons with AMGA certified guide Joe Stock.

Taught by expert instructor Bob Fitzpatrick, this six-session clinic will provide advanced training in skate-ski techniques, including V-2, V-1, double-pole starting, plus classical technique and ski waxing, race strategy, and drills to improve core strength and race speed.

RA Guides is pleased to offer you the opportunity to increase your winter knowledge of snow conditions in the surrounding mountains. Feel safe about getting out into the winter wonderland of Colorado.

Accessing the range by ski plane, we'll spend the first week camped on the glacier practicing
backcountry and glacier travel skills and searching out memorable first ascents and descents.
The second week will be spent touring European-style through glacier passes and dramatic
peaks.
