Description

One of the best ways to explore the majestic beauty of Grand Teton National Park is on a pair of skis!

Whether you opt to simply ski on the deep and fresh powder or climb up one of the park's various summits, there is plenty to see here on your skis.

With steep slopes offering long runs, there is plenty of great off-piste terrain to zoom down. Since the area, and the state as a whole, is pretty remote, we can expect to be reasonably isolated, which means plenty of fresh powder just for us.

If getting some of the best views in all of Wyoming is what you are after, then climbing up one of the park's many cirques with crampons and an ice axe is a good way to go. Head up various ridge lines to enjoy immaculate views, before plunging back down to the valley floor on your skis.

Regardless of what you would like to do, we can customize the perfect itinerary for your skill set and time allowances. However, you should be an intermediate-level off-piste skier in order to maximize your enjoyment on this trip.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an incredible 1+ day ski mountaineering experience in Grand Teton National Park!

If you like the look of this trip, but are looking for a summertime adventure, then I think you will also enjoy my 1+ day rock climbing trips in the Grand Tetons!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
