Ski Mountaineering Camp

Ain't no mountain high enough.

Spend 3 days with fellow backcountry-obsessed skiers and snowboarders furthering your skills with Snowbird Mountain Guides. Participants will delve into trip planning for ambitious ski mountaineering objectives and multi-day tours, learn to handle an ice axe and crampons, practice using snow anchors and more. Led by the experts at Snowbird Mountain Guides, you'll learn from locals with a vast knowledge of the snowpack and what it takes to execute a successful trip.
