Optional Add-on

Stay a day or two! Want more of an opportunity to hone your skills and to ski or ride even more terrain? Our instructor team has added an optional one or two days of additional ski guiding for $195 per day tacked onto the end of the course. This is a great opportunity for continuing mentorship and to ski the terrain we utilize for the course. Please email outdoor@petracliffs.com if you are interested in this add-on.
