A gorgeous ski resort, the Bear Valley resort is a great place to spend a day and enjoy the slopes.

Filled with fantastic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, you will get to admire the scenery from a number of great vantage points through the Bear Valley Ski Resort. Furthermore, this trip is about more than just fun, there is also an educational element as well. Over the course of 6 to 8 hours, you will learn a great deal about ski mountaineering.

A thrilling outdoor activity that combines ski touring and mountaineering, ski mountaineering is perfect for people who are adventurers at heart. However, like any physically demanding outdoor activity, especially those that involve mountains, it is important to learn the fundamentals.

A few examples of what you will learn, or review, during this clinic includes the use of skins, efficient track setting, techniques for uphill terrain, techniques for skiing on steeper terrain, and much more.

Participants on this trip must be able to ski or snowboard at an advanced level. 

If you are looking to properly prepare yourself for future ski mountaineering expeditions, this clinic is for you. To join us for this full-day trip at the Bear Valley Ski Resort, please send a request.

What people are saying about SWS

Such a difficult, but the most amazing experience! Something you will never forget!

Had an amazing experience! What memories but must be honest, we were in over our head. Feel we were physically up to it but we went from sea level to 10,000 feet in 30 hours and it was a challenge to keep up. Some time to acclimate would have made a big difference. The guides were careful and supportive. We were outside our comfort zone for sure but also realize that made it so memorable!

Life changing experience!!

Excellent experience with my guide Ben and SWS. Was able to summit Mt Whitney via the mountaineer’s route thanks to Ben’s understanding of the mountain and assessment of my capabilities. Great experience that exceeded my expectations.

The hike was great and I got exactly I wanted.
