Description

Whether you are an advanced backcountry skier or a first-timer, this trip is for you! Its wildness and remoteness make Yellowstone National Park one of the most unique winter backcountry sites in the world.

Yellowstone is the first national park in the U.S. and in the whole world, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It extends over 8,983 km² (3,468.4 sq mi) in the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Known for its wildlife and geothermal features, Yellowstone contains beautiful lakes, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, and mountain ranges, as well as unique species of plants and wild animals.

Cross-country skiing is a classic winter activity in the park. Yellowstone features hundreds of miles of outstanding backcountry terrain for all levels. Therefore, this outing can be tailored to fit participants’ skill level and previous experience.

During the day, we will try several northern trails between the Mammoth Hot Springs area and the park’s northeast entrance near Cooke City, Montana. Along the way, the guide will provide participants with basic cross-country skiing skills and will share some curious facts of Yellowstone’s winter ecology and rich natural history.

The park’s elevations range from 2,100 to 3,000 meters (7,000-10,000 ft). Hill slopes offer deep snowpack tracks between snowy forests and frozen waterfalls, among free-roaming foxes, elk, American bison and gray wolves.

Interested? Send us your booking request now. Tell us about your cross-country skiing experience and goals, and we will design the perfect winter adventure for you!

If you are looking for other winter activities in the park, I recommend the snowshoeing day in Yellowstone National Park.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

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.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!
