Overview

We can show skiers and split boarder alike the bests routes of the day. If you are coming from out of town, there is a lot of research that needs to be done to make sure you are making the most of the limited time. Even if you chose one mountain to climb, you might end up on the south facing side that can get snow baked by 11:30 am on a fresh powder day or one that already crusted from the night before. Let our local guides take to the best conditions that lake has to offer that day.

What's Included

  • Private transportation
  • Local knowledge of current snow conditions
  • Please bring all necessary Backcountry Ski or Splitboard Equipment.
