About
Ski or split-board tour to the best snow and terrain that we can safely go to on the given day. We take pride in custom tailoring every guided trip around the specific needs and desires of each group and can focus on skiing and riding powder, skiing steeps or simply working on instructional techniques to help you become more proficient in the mountains. Access to tours depends on the objective but many outings start by walking from the car roadside, while others first gain the high country with ski lifts, snowmobile or helicopter.
