Backcountry Ski Touring

Backcountry Ski Touring Single or multiple day options

Curious about exploring terrain just beyond the ski resort, or looking to make the most of your time in the backcountry? Washington Alpine Guides offers guided backcountry ski touring in Washington State, focusing on excellent snow, smart terrain selection, and efficient group management. Every day is built around current weather, snowpack structure, avalanche hazards, and your experience level—so we can ski the best terrain available while managing risk appropriately.

Our guided backcountry ski days are designed to maximize quality turns without rushing objectives or forcing terrain that doesn’t make sense. Whether you’re stepping beyond the resort boundary for the first time or looking to refine your decision-making and movement in complex terrain, our goal is to deliver a safe, rewarding, and professionally guided mountain experience.
