Description
I will guide you on this beautiful and stunning 2-day backcountry skiing trip at the Lost Trail Lodge, Lake Tahoe, where not only will we discover some of the best hidden, peaceful backcountry spots, whilst also learning the most effective and efficient backcountry skiing skills and techniques, but we will also stay in an authentic and charming backcountry lodge to relax and refresh in.
Lake Tahoe is nestled between the borders of California and Nevada, and is an immensely popular tourist destination all throughout the year. It is renowned for its excellent and optimum skiing conditions, with vast tracts of backcountry areas to ski in.
We meet in the morning at Lake Tahoe, where important safety gear and information is dispensed. From there we head out to the wilds of the backcountry, where we will seek out the most uncrowded, off-the-beaten-path sections to ensure a peaceful experience.
After traipsing and travailing our way around the Anderson Ridge crest, we then spend the night at the Lost Trail Lodge, a warm and cosy abode full of comfortable beds and nice food, so we can rest our weary bodies!
The next day is spent skiing around more of the glorious backcountry, with the fresh, deep powder and the picturesque alpine forests leading down to the centerpiece of the region, Lake Tahoe.
Some of the skills and techniques we will be going through include the use of climbing skins, avalanche hazard recognition, uphill techniques and use of transceivers. Learning these will increase your backcountry skiing confidence and help you tackle more challenging routes.
We finish on the afternoon of the second day having explored this magnificent region and increased your backcountry skiing ability.
