B.A.S.E. DAY EVENT WITH ROAM SHOP

We are proud to announce Kootenay Backcountry Guide's partnership with ROAM Shop Nelson to bring you B.A.S.E. DAY!

Backcountry Awareness Safety Education Day

​With summer officially over and the snow line making its way closer to town, we want to help you get stoked for this upcoming season. This FREE public event is all about safety in the backcountry for all backcountry enthusiasts - sled, tour, snowshoe, or hike.

TRANSCEIVERS

ROAM Staff will be there to test and program your transceivers (free), and if you have an old transceiver kicking around bring it down and donate it to KBG AST courses for your chance to win a brand new transceiver! 

DEMONSTRATIONS

Kootenay Backcountry Guides and Instructors will be there hosting various rescue demonstrations. Practice your companion rescue, we will show you some ways to practice without snow/driving to the mountain. We will also go over various rescue techniques and essential rescue gear you should have in your pack.
