Backcountry Cascades Ski Trips
Looking for deep powder and all-you-can-ski first tracks this winter? Alpine Ascents is proud to offer private and custom backcountry ski trips in the picturesque Washington terrain. With growing interest in tailored ski trips out of resort boundaries, our custom and private trips allow skiers and split-boarders to work with our logistics support team to build a unique experience so you can earn your turns exactly the way you want to. Whether you already have an objective in mind, or want to get a taste of your first tour, our team can help get together a plan for a fantastic day in the Washington backcountry!
This program can serve as a companion educational option to the AIARE Level 1 Avalanche Course and should not be considered a replacement to the Level 1.
Backcountry Ski Tour Objectives
A customized guided ski program – along with a Level 1 Avalanche Course – is intended to give participants all the necessary skills to travel in simple to challenging backcountry terrain with team members of equal or greater training.
Both our Mount Baker and Mount Rainier venues offer exceptional terrain for new backcountry skiers and snowboarders. With easy access, ample snowfall, and varied terrain they both make for engaging mountain classrooms and serve as springboards to bigger ski tours in the Cascades and beyond. We also offer backcountry ski trips at Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass, and Blewett Pass Washington.
