Vail, Colorado, is the home to world renowned skiing. While the ski resort tends to fill up and fresh snow gets packed quickly the backcountry offers a refreshing alternative. With our guides you can get fresh turns long after epic powder days.Â
Our AIARE and AMGA certified guides will prepare you to explore the backcountry in our AIARE Level 1 courses. They can also take you to the best powder stashes in the area in our Vail Backcountry Ski trips.Â
