BC Advanced Freeride

A fast paced Advanced Backcountry Snowboard course for those that really want to push their limits both up and down the mountain!

Advanced BC group scoring it good in the Periades.

With a smaller group size (ratio1 to 3) this course is fast paced, very active and proving very popular with our BC regulars who want to ride some of the Extreme descents that Chamonix is famous for and get to where the freshest, untracked snow lies way ahead of the crowds.
