Mammoth Lakes and Eastern Sierra have long been a prime destination for world-class skiers. One of the best locations for powder in all of California and the United States, it’s a natural choice for ski touring pros who want to pick up new techniques and build upon their foundation of skills to improve in the sport.

Mammoth Mountain and Mammoth Lakes are accessible without losing the allure of being a top tier remote skiing mecca. There is an endless supply of captivating lines and wild runs to keep you tapped in to the wilderness charm.

That’s where you come in! You will have an absolute blast following the guidance of professional, certified instructors while giving you the tools necessary to ski away from crowded resorts.

We will cover all of the basics of backcountry skiing, from placing and using skins to avalanche safety and rescue. Some other areas of instruction include group management, terrain and line selection, and track setting. Certain backcountry-specific techniques and procedures are vital for a fun, productive, and safe experience when heading off-piste and away from groomed trails. Your program will focus on these crucial skills to move seamlessly into the most exciting mountain runs.

Eastern Sierra is one of my favorite areas to ski. Sharing my passion for the mountains and ski touring is my pleasure and I will ensure you have an unforgettable couple of days cutting your teeth in some of California’s most notorious snow.

You should be in very good shape to take this course, having enough skiing experience to be comfortable in the backcountry. Intermediate to advanced skiing proficiency is mandatory.

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

Nate was very knowledgeable and got me to the top of mountain. He’s not as engaging as most of the guides I’ve had over the years. I’ve learned a lot about most of my climbs as guides talk about the mountain and the area maybe even plant and animals and I enjoy getting to know them better. We did talk a bit more on the way out of the trailhead. All in all a good experience. But not sure your company told him I had a knee replacement and would be slow.
