Alpine Development School will take place April 6-13, 2025 at the snowcat-accessed VMT (Valhalla Mountain Touring) Lodge located just north of Valhalla Provincial Park in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia.The 2025 SheJumps Alpine Development School is led by ACMG-certified ski guides, in collaboration with SheJumps, a US public charity (68-0662227) dedicated to increasing the participation of women and girls in outdoor activities. This course is an opportunity for women who are excellent resort skiers/snowboarders with some backcountry experience to progress their backcountry skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. Participants should have advanced downhill ski/snowboard skills, some prior backcountry skiing experience, and a high level of fitness. The focus of the course will be on ski touring, but it will also cover topics including avalanche rescue, backcountry risk management, and terrain identification. The Alpine Development School strives to provide a space for women to grow both their technical skills and confidence to be self-sufficient in the mountains. This is an excellent preparation course for our Alpine Finishing School course. TRIP COST The TOTAL cost of the course is $3,500 USD. A $500 USD non-refundable deposit is required to hold your space. You will receive instructions on final payment (less your $500 USD non-refundable deposit) upon acceptance of your application. The full tuition amount for the course is due January 15, 2025. Payment plans are available. The price of the course reflects equitable wages for the guides, access to online Alpine Development School training, and a guided educational experience in the mountains. This price includes snowcat transportation to and from the lodge, all meals and snacks, guiding, and lodging. Gratuity for the guides/lodge caretakers is not included. It's customary to tip the guides at the end of the trip, and we recommend 10-15% of the trip price. All tips are shared by guides, and lodge staff. Please note that you are under no obligation to tip, but it's highly recommended. SheJumps Cancellation policy Please note the 7 day Eventbrite refund policy does NOT apply to this event.

A: You need to be able to ski or snowboard in a variety of backcountry snow conditions.

A: It is not required, but completing AIARE Level 1, AST 1, or equivalent prior to the course is strongly encouraged. Q: Will we ski/ride every day? A: Weather and avalanche conditions are outside of our control and will dictate where we can go, and there is a chance that we may not be able to ski some days or venture too far from the lodge. Q: What gear do I need? A: Please reference the VMT's packing list for gear needed PLUS ski crampons. Facility information: There are gender neutral restrooms available.
