    Description
    The Field Experience courses will survey skills designed to give an overview of various technical, intra- and interpersonal skills within the areas of concentration in the Wilderness Education and Outdoor Leadership (WEOL) program. The purpose is to give the student an initial experience to the activities offered in the program prior to choosing an area of concentration. Skills for the winter field course include leadership, communication, risk management, on-piste (lift access and groomed slopes) skiing/boarding techniques, cross-country and backcountry travel techniques, avalanche awareness, winter camping and survival, and winter mountaineering. This course will culminate in a 5-day field experience which incorporates multiple areas of concentration.
