Description

Join me for a 2-day off-piste skiing clinic in the amazing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, U.S.A.

Located only 16 kilometres away from the famous Yellowstone national park, the Grand Teton park is definitely a worthy companion. The park itself is absolutely enormous. And when seen up close, or from afar, it looks like a beautiful painting of nature at its finest. Hence making it the perfect place for an off-piste skiing clinic.

Because the park is so huge, there is an assortment of ways to explore it. You can hike through it, you can mountaineer, or you can ski tour on preset routes. However, for the sake of this excursion, the focus will be on off-piste skiing. Otherwise known as back country skiing. In the Grand Teton park, the powder is renowned, and whether it is deep or light snow, it makes for amazing skiing. So for anybody looking for peace and solitude, while enjoying great exercise and views that will leave you mesmerised, off-piste skiing in the Grant Teton park is for you.

However, aside from enjoying the skiing itself, the purpose of this clinic is to teach and develop the skills needed to enjoy it safely and correctly. We will cover gear, skinning, and uphill turning techniques. We will focus on avalanche terrain recognition. And depending on group size and time, we will cover route planning and time calculations. As well as other important topics. In order to participate in this clinic, you do need to have advanced skiing skills and physical fitness. And a completion of at least a level-1 avalanche course.

It is important to note that besides the 2-day clinic, I also offer the chance to lead you on a Grand Teton Ski Tour, where you can ski on Wimpy’s knob and Shadow peak. As well as an advanced ski tour, where you can ski on Disappointment peak and the West Hourglass couloir. Among several others. Finally, if you are interested in ski mountaineering, I can also take you to such places as Buck mountain, Apocalypse couloir, and many more.

So come, join me for a 2-day off-piste skiing clinic in the breathtaking Gran Teton national park, or join me on one of the other ski tours I can offer you. You won’t regret it.

I’ll be awaiting your message.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

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.
