If this year was like any other, we’d be waxing our skis and getting ready to head down to Jackson Hole, WY to welcome you to the Backcountry Academy, as we have in years past. We’d spend the weekend connected by our mutual love of backcountry skiing and snowboarding, learning from some of the best in their field, soaking up every bit of the experience.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 requires a shift in gears. We have chosen to adapt and evolve our events, to serve the safety and well-being of our community, and have decided to move forward with the 2021 Backcountry Academy in a digital format.
Join us February 8-12, 2021 for a week of inspiring speakers, films, panel discussions and more.
Just because we can’t be together physically doesn’t mean we can’t continue to learn and celebrate mountain culture digitally.
1. Follow our Instagram channel @arcteryxacademy where we'll be posting important event updates throughout the week and running all our awesome giveaways.
2. Check out the schedule further down this page. We’re using a few different platforms – this website, Instagram, and Zoom – so make sure you know when and where things are happening.
3. Get involved. Pre-register for our Panel Discussions opening on Jan 25th.
4. Watch, learn and absorb as much as you can. With the exception of the online clinics, all content is free!
