Hire a ski guide that is a partner and a mentor

A ski tour with Peak is more than a walk in the backcountry. You will be a part of avalanche assessment, terrain analysis, and learn to become a better backcountry skier/rider.

Become the best backcountry ski partner

Keep up with your friends, be dialed on rescue skills, and become more familiar with avalanche hazards.

San Juan Mountains

The San Juan Mountain Range is the largest range in Colorado. With 14 peaks over 14,000′ and moderate, easy-going runs near the road there is something here for everyone.

Alaska

The Chugach Mountains near Valdez, Alaska are one of the most filmed ski destinations in the World. With steep glaciated peaks, a strong maritime snowpack, and quick access from nearby Thompson Pass Highway, it is ski mountaineering at its finest.

Ski and Avalanche Courses

Our ski course progression offers the participant the opportunity to learn the skills to progress. Each step of the way is carefully crafted to convey the information you need, break down myths, and build awareness of the bigger picture.


What Type of Trip?
