Description

Come hone your backcountry skiing skills at the beautiful Snoqualmie Pass, near Seattle!

Located just 45 minutes to the east of the city, Snoqualmie Pass offer excellent skiing conditions and fantastic views for intermediate skiers looking to learn the basics of backcountry skiing.

Rising 921 meters above sea level, the pass is a great way to get some stunning views of the surrounding valleys, forests and peaks of the Cascade Range.

We’ll start out early on the first day and get right into the backcountry, going over off-piste skiing techniques and skills as we ski on the slopes around Snoqualmie Pass.

We will spend that night at the Pass, either camping in tents or at a mountain hut.

Then on the second day, we will further the skills that we worked on the previous day and ski down through the plentiful snow to Snow Lake Basin. As we go there will be plenty of incredible views of the Cascade Range’s stunning scenery.

By the time you have finished the course, you will have developed the some of the skills you need in order to further pursue this fun and exciting winter sport.

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!!
