Is This Trip for You?
This trip is designed for advanced to expert snowboarders and skiers who want to explore beyond the resort boundaries. You should be comfortable on varied terrain and excited about adventure — but you don’t need to be a pro. Backcountry and snowmobile activities are professionally guided and group-paced. Touring gear is recommended for backcountry days (splitboard or touring skis), though rental options may be available.
