About Us
Our Mission
IBT seeks to foster collaborative relationships between local First Nations and backcountry operators.
To inspire a deep appreciation for ancestral knowledge, environmental stewardship, and personal growth, inviting participants to embark on a journey that honours the Indigenous communities that have sustained it for generations.
Our Philosophy
We provide accessible and reliable avalanche training programs designed to empower individuals and strengthen the backcountry community. By offering essential skills and knowledge, we enable people to make informed decisions and safely enjoy the outdoors. With the right preparation, everyone can confidently explore and connect with the backcountry.
Our Goals
To get experienced First Nations skiers and snowboarders into the backcountry, have them experience riding powder snow and travelling in mountainous terrain.
Provide an educational experience that connects and supports our participants so they can continue their journey into the industry.
To build a community of trained outdoor enthusiasts who can train and recreate together in the future.
