More adventure. Less pack.
Sometimes the wilderness calls you to go deeper and farther out into it. For those who hear that cry, we offer annual ski-traverses into the heart of the Columbia Mountains. It is still winter up there in late May, when we take a small group of guests into this remote wilderness. The days are warmer, but the snow remains plentiful and fun to ski. While this trip is outside our normal terrain, we still promise great turns and the opportunity to climb a number of summits.
Normally, week-long ski-traverses require large and heavy packs. But to maximize enjoyment we fly all food, kitchen supplies, and technical gear into designated campsites. It's all waiting there for us at the end of each day.
Yes, that includes a cold beer or two to be shared with the afternoon sunshine.
By dropping supplies ahead, we can pack lightly, and more fully experience the joy of remote mountain travel. We can also cover many more miles and explore much more of this seldom-seen landscape.
For obvious reasons, this annual traverse fills early. If you and your skis are hearing the call of the wild, you should answer quickly.
