Description

There are numerous fantastic areas to enjoy a day of backcountry skiing in the Sierra Nevada. However the area around the town of Mammoth Lakes has to be one of the best. Due to its location in the eastern Sierra Nevada, and its high altitude, there is an abundance of fresh powder during the winter months. As a result, there is ample terrain that can be explored throughout the area. Thus making it one of the best places to ski in the entire mountain range.

The scenery you will get to enjoy throughout this day trip is absolutely unforgettable. From the peaks above to the vast landscape beyond, you will be in a constant state of amazement. And when it comes to the skiing, you will have your choice of fantastic descents as well. Some of those descents include Mammoth Crest and Mount McGree.

Furthermore, the town itself is a great place to spend a few days, as there are wonderful accommodations for every taste. So while this backcountry trip is for only 1 day, you could easily spend several days in Mammoth Lakes.

In order to enjoy this trip, participants should be able to ski downhill at an advanced level. They should also be adept at skiing in ungroomed conditions. Finally, as this can be a physically demanding trip, participants should also be in good physical condition.

If you are looking to ski in the Sierra Nevada, but want to be away from the crowds, then this day of backcountry skiing around the resort town of Mammoth Lakes is for you. It is both challenging and rewarding, and is a trip you will not soon forget. So send us a request, and let us guide through this incredible, beautiful area.

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.
