Adirondack Mountain Club

Thank you for your interest in the Adirondack Mountain Club's (ADK) Winter Mountaineering School Advanced Day Hike Course.

Health insurance and an ADK Membership are required to participate in this program. Prior successful completion of any other Winter School course (Day Hike, Backpacking, or "Combo") is also required to register for this program. 

Take your winter skills to the next level! Refine your ice ax, crampon, and self-arrest techniques, and then hike into the ADK’s remote Johns Brook Lodge in the heart of the Great Range. Here you and your team will plan and execute ambitious attempts of Adirondack High Peaks. You’ll learn what it takes to summit multiple peaks in a single day, and if conditions allow, attempt a non-technical slide climb. Lecture and workshop topics include advanced trip planning, leadership, risk management and decision making, navigation, nutrition and meal planning, avalanche awareness, and more.

Cost: $525, includes meals and lodging at ADK’s Johns Brook Lodge.

If you don't have an Adirondack Mountain Club membership please go to www.adk.org to purchase one. We hope to see you this winter!
