Are you looking to get into ski touring or freeriding, but not sure where to get started?

Or perhaps you want to beef up your skills in avalanche safety, first aid or survival. No matter what level you’re at, the Arc’teryx Academy at St. Anton am Arlberg next month has something to offer for everyone.
