In this 10-week program for Double-Black Skiers, students will gain tactical improvement in steeps and bumps. They'll also gain knowledge on how to travel safely in avalanche-prone terrain and learn beacon-finding skills so they can safely enter Sunshine Village Freeride Zones, like Delirium Dive. Groups will have assessments on their skiing ability to ensure they are at the skill level required for the program. A Beacon, Shovel and Probe must be owned and brought in a backpack on the first day of the program.

Program Date Options:
• 10-week Saturdays: January 9th - March 20th 2027
• 10-week Sundays: January 10th – March 21st 2027

If you have included the lunch add on, the children will eat a prepared lunch with their instructor.

Due to unforeseen circumstances; avalanche control, snow quality & group competency levels; entry into Delirium Dive may not be possible on all or any weekends of the programs – there is no guarantee that groups will reach the competency level to enter “The Dive”. If your child does not meet the required skill level for the Big Mountain Freeriders Groups they will be placed in an alternate group.
