PRIVATE GUIDED BACKCOUNTRY SKIING (TAHOE/TRUCKEE)
Want to get out away from the crowds, lift lines, parking lot reservations, and $30 hamburgers? Are you new to the backcountry? Or are you a seasoned backcountry skier looking to learn some new descents? Hire a guide for a day! Our veteran guides can show you the way to great Tahoe snow away from the crowds, and help you increase your know-how, no matter how experienced you are.
If you are new, we offer a one-day curriculum that will give you a solid introduction to the equipment and skills you need to get out safely. You will learn how to: use your ski equipment, choose terrain, skin, do kick-turns, set a track, basic mountain navigation/route-finding, to use your avalanche beacon, and of course do some great skiing!
So choose your day, plan your group (or come alone), meet at the trailhead and spend a full day immersed in this beautiful landscape away from the crowds.
