Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Intro week to touring recommendations
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Fellow Snowheads,

I'm after recommendations for a week's touring course.

I'll be going solo, so something sociable. I have ice climbed and mountaineered before and can ski most off piste/lift served off-piste in most conditions well. However I haven't toured before.

Snoworks have a backcountry access course that could work - are there any alternatives to consider for the end of March early April?

Thanks in advance!

UCPA Argentiere do week long intro to touring courses - might be suitable depending on your age (they aim for under 40s, but some flexibility). Very good for solo skiers, and very sociable. Plus generally very good value.

I don't think they offer touring in any other centres, but might be worth asking Action Outdoors.

I did one with Mountain Tracks a few years ago at that time of year in Zinal, it was very good. Small group, only 5 of us. It was a good mixture of teaching the skills and doing some good summits and descents. We also skinned up to a SAC hut and spent a night there mid-week.

I did an Introduction to ski touring with ISM many moons ago.

http://www.alpin-ism.com/ is the website.

My guide/tutor Terry Ralphs still works for them so they must do a decent job.

Alpine Guides are my current company of choice http://www.alpine-guides.com/trips/ski-touring-course/
I've did a weekend touring refresher and a week hut to hut with them last year, nothing but good things to say.

Will be with them again in April.
