Stretching for 260 kilometers through northeastern Utah, the Wasatch Range is the perfect place for an immersive ski mountaineering course!
Designed for intermediate backcountry skiers, this course will teach you the technical skills necessary for making high-consequence ski mountaineering descents.
Starting on the very first day, we will go over avalanche mitigation strategies, practice skiing on steep terrain and go over fundamental mountaineering skills (such as tying knots, setting up hitches and going over all of the devices).
On the second day, we will learn and practice some basic ski mountaineering skills, including anchoring, belaying a skier, managing steep entrances and rappelling.
Our third and final day will be the highlight of the course. Taking place against the backdrop of the stunning mountain scenery and incredible views of the Wasatch Range, we will put our newly acquired skills to the test.
The day will be spent heading out to various different spots and trying some challenging and highly technical ski mountaineering rope work and snowpack assessment.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this informative and scenic 3-day ski mountaineering course in the wonderful Wasatch Range!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you may also enjoy my 3-day avalanche safety course, also in the Wasatch Range!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
