Volunteer
By its nature, quality backcountry skiing requires beautiful, aesthetic locations. Here at Superior Highland Backcountry we are skiers and environmental conservationists. We see the creation of backcountry ski areas in our region as an excellent way to weave stewardship, human health and enjoyment, and economic vitality together into a single effort. We are skiers, who will pursue the powder each year as long as our legs will carry us. And we are stewards of our land, for as long as our voices can speak for it.
Connect With Others
We want to build a vibrant online community for our friends and donors.

EVENTS
Tabling and Ski Demos at Silver Bay Snow Days
March 1st, 10am-3pm
Reunion Hall, 97 Outer Drive, Silver Bay
In its second year, Silver Bay Snow Days is a growing event celebrating the many indoor and outdoor pastimes of winter and snow! This year, we will be showcasing our projects and our favorite equipment, taking groups out to ski throughout the day. When the telemark turn wears you out, head back to the Silver Bay lounge for the cribbage tournament, check out the vendors at the Reunion Hall for excellent local foods, or watch the snowmobile run in the back woods!
See the days full schedule in this flyer.
Intro To Backcountry Classes
In our Intro to Backcountry class, we provide a hands-on overview of ski and snowboard equipment specific for the variety of backcountry applications, from lake and river travel to deep snow exploration to steep downhill turns. After donning our equipment, we introduce and practice uphill travel techniques. The second half of the class finds us learning powder skiing techniques for alpine touring skis and the graceful and versatile telemark turn for the three pin boot and binding. All ages and skill levels are welcome, and equipment is provided. Pre-registration required, and space is limited to 6-8 participants per class. Suggested donation of $80-$120 per person.
