National Alpine School
Develop your Ski Touring and Snowcraft Skills
Expressions of Interest are now open for the 2023 National Alpine School, being run by Victorian Branch this August.

The School is designed to focus on the practical skills that Snowcraft Leaders need to take youth members into snow, such as:
- Managing parties in challenging environments
- Dealing with alpine emergencies
- Navigating in poor visibility
- Avalanche safety
- Snow camping techniques
Dates: Saturday 5 August to Saturday 12 August, 2023
Location: Bogong Rover Chalet
Cost: $600 + ski hire costs
