The White Mountain's of New Hampshire offer a wide variety of terrain for backcountry skiing. The gentle slopes and ski trails of
Mt Cardigan provide perfect terrain for our introductory backcountry ski lessons while Mt Washington, Mt Lafayette and many other
peaks may satisfy the more advanced skier with steep ski descents in chutes and ravines.
On our guided backcountry ski tours we instruct you in techniques which reduce the risks while skiing off the groomed trails and in steep terrain. Tour planning, uphill track setting, downhill ski techniques and avalanche awareness are topics covered on our backcountry ski tours. Powder skiing is typical of our early season (Dec-Feb) and then comes the festive spring skiing season which can last until April. Our day and overnight ski tours include runs on Mt. Washington, Mt. Lafayette, Mt. Moosilauke, Mt. Cardigan, and others. For downhill skiers alpine touring equipment with randonnee bindings allow the skier to release the heel making travel uphill possible. When its time to ski down all you need to do is lock your heel back in place and make downhill ski turns. For telemarkers we recommend a plastic boot and ski equipment with metal edges. |
