Description
Would you like to discover some of the best spots for skiing in the Sierra Nevada Range? Then join me on this splitboarding and backcountry skiing adventure in the Eastern Sierra!
Known as the “Range of Light”, the Sierra Nevada mountains in California are truly lit. On this skiing program, you will have a chance to discover the Eastern Sierra, which as its name suggests, is the eastern side of these beautiful peaks.
This program is flexible and you can tailor it to suit your preferences. Therefore, you can choose the duration, the difficulty level and some of the places that we may visit. More specific location options for backcountry skiing in Eastern Sierra include Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Lundy Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon, Bishop, Big Pine, Lee Vining, Independence, and Convict, Pine and McGee Creeks.
Of course, some prior skiing experience is necessary, as is a good fitness level. However, you will be safe in the hands of a certified guide that will point you in the right direction and help with whatever you need. And, not only will you enjoy the amazing skiing conditions of the Sierra Nevada mountains, but also its awe-inspiring landscapes and views.
So, are you ready to go backcountry skiing in the Eastern Sierra? Then contact me now and let’s start planning an unforgettable adventure!
Or, if you’re going to be in the Sierra area during the warmer season, you can join me on a rock climbing adventure on Mt. Emerson’s southeast face!

Patrick took me out to the Indian Cove! Loved the short approach and couldn’t asked for better weather. Patrick recommended great pitches where I could try new stuff like chimneying. Would definitely book again if I go back to JTree!

We had an excellent time with Chad on our multi -pitch day in Joshua Tree. My partner and I have some experience climbing sport routes, but had no experience with trad climbing or multi-pitch routes. Chad is a great instructor and led our routes with ease. We felt confident in his abilities to keep us safe and have fun. Will definitely book again with him.

We booked through Ryan, and Daniel was our guide - absolutely brilliant, very down to earth and knowledgeable. The climbs themselves were awesome, with insane views. My partner is an experienced indoor climber, and I have close to no experience, especially outdoors, but still felt safe and in good hands. We did a half day, which was 5hrs, and got 4 climbs in, then stayed after the tour to walk around a bit more and have some snacks with a view (make sure you take food/water as there aren’t any shops inside the park). Definitely recommend.

Our guide, Spencer, was fantastic! He tailored everything to our exact needs, and we now feel equipped to climb outdoors without a guide.
