Join Pacific Town Club for an unforgettable day of skiing and snowboarding at Big Bear Mountain—just 90 minutes from DTLA!
Arc'teryx is sponsoring a Tahoe Day Trip in partnership with Big Bear Mountain and Pacific Town Club on Saturday, February 8, 2025! We are excited to offer 20 free spots for beginners or folks who have not skied before to help introduce more of our local community to the snow before our Mammoth Backcountry Academy.
Arc’teryx Academies and Sierra Mountain Guides have partnered up to offer a subsidized AIARE 1 course.
The AIARE 1 is a decision making course for backcountry travelers wanting to learn to manage their personal and group risk and conduct the most effective companion rescue possible in the event of an accident.
These are developed and taught by the most experienced AIARE qualified instructors in the industry.
