Be aware. Be prepared. Don’t go alone.
The Brandywine and Callaghan Valley boast some of the best and beautiful terrain, but riding in the backcountry can also be very dangerous. It is highly recommended that no one goes into the backcountry without proper knowledge and training. Please make sure to check all weather and avalanche reports before planning a day out in the backcountry. We recommend taking an Avalanche Skills Training course before entering any kind of backcountry terrain.
1. Take an avalanche Course
2. Carry and know how to use the proper rescue equipment. Ensure those you ride with do the same.
3. Research the area you choose to ride in, this includes: weather, snowpack, recent avalanche activity and safe areas.
4. Choose terrain that coincides with the days conditions. Consistently check weather and avalanche reports for the day.
