At Lake Tahoe Community College, backcountry skiing isn’t just a hobby—it’s part of the curriculum. Our students learn avalanche safety, route planning, navigation, and snow science while earning college credit in the mountains. This isn’t your typical classroom. Out here, lessons come from experience, and tests mean making real decisions in real conditions—all while skiing some of the most breathtaking terrain in the Sierra. Here are some of the courses we offer: WLD105B - Field Experience: Winter WLD125A-C - Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding (Beginning to Advanced) WLD126C - Multi-Day Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding WLD144A- AIARE Level 1 WLD144B - AIARE Rescue WLD144C- AIARE Level 2 If you’re looking for an education that takes you beyond four walls and into the backcountry, this is it.
