Guided Backcountry Tours

In 1998, we were one of the first ski areas to open its boundaries, allowing skiers and snowboarders to explore adjacent backcountry terrain without worrying about having their passes pulled. Even though it’s now the rare resort that has closed boundaries, we continue to be a pioneer in backcountry access through our 2- to 4-day backcountry camps. Presented in partnership with Mammut, a Swiss company recognized for its innovative backcountry safety gear, these camps feature our best mountain guides teaching topics from route selection to snowpack evaluation, backcountry travel best practices, and backcountry equipment. Your “classroom” for these camps? Some of the country’s most epic and expansive backcountry terrain. No prior backcountry experience is required for these camps, but you must be able to comfortably ski varying conditions off-piste.

A private lesson with MSS isn’t just about creating your perfect lesson, but your perfect day. Whether you want to find runs that the whole family can enjoy together, ski a steep couloir, link turns, get more comfortable skiing trees, ski every green or blue run at the resort, or spend the entire day smiling, booking a private lesson with an MSS coach is the single best step you can take toward making your vision of your perfect day on our mountain a reality.
