One of the best ways I can imagine to explore the mountains. Already trying to plan the next trip.

Amazing back country experience in Alta. Really knowledgeable guides, literally some of the most knowledgeable in the world. Doubt anyone knows these mountains and reading terrain better than them. Felt very safe but also challenged. Strong workout too.

Erik was a phenomenal guide. He obviously has a passion for what he is doing and the expertise to back it up. He made sure that we were always having a good time and brought us to some of the best skiing I’ve ever skied. 10/10 would recommend.
