The Arc’teryx Backcountry Academy creates a unique space where beginners and experts alike can learn the ropes from world-class guides and athletes. Some experiences can get a little colder than others – take winter camping for example. A chance to spend an extended time in the elements with like-minded individuals, opening up access to a whole new world of terrain. Ideated by Robin herself, and originating from her own overnight experiences in the backcountry. Get an inside look at the Winter Camping &
Expedition Planning w/ Robin Van Gyn clinic from this year’s Backcountry Academy in Whistler, BC.
