Description

Would you like to discover some of the best spots for skiing in the Sierra Nevada Range? Then join me on this splitboarding and backcountry skiing adventure in the Eastern Sierra!

Known as the “Range of Light”, the Sierra Nevada mountains in California are truly lit. On this skiing program, you will have a chance to discover the Eastern Sierra, which as its name suggests, is the eastern side of these beautiful peaks.

This program is flexible and you can tailor it to suit your preferences. Therefore, you can choose the duration, the difficulty level and some of the places that we may visit. More specific location options for backcountry skiing in Eastern Sierra include Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Lundy Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon, Bishop, Big Pine, Lee Vining, Independence, and Convict, Pine and McGee Creeks.

Of course, some prior skiing experience is necessary, as is a good fitness level. However, you will be safe in the hands of a certified guide that will point you in the right direction and help with whatever you need. And, not only will you enjoy the amazing skiing conditions of the Sierra Nevada mountains, but also its awe-inspiring landscapes and views.

So, are you ready to go backcountry skiing in the Eastern Sierra? Then contact me now and let’s start planning an unforgettable adventure!

Or, if you’re going to be in the Sierra area during the warmer season, you can join me on a rock climbing adventure on Mt. Emerson’s southeast face!

What people are saying about Ryan

First class operation from beginning to end. Ryan (I believe owner or manager) provided the best customer service from the moment I contacted him as a result of a search on the internet. He set everything up with ease, always staying in touch and making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend him for climbing at any level.

Ryan, Tim, Scott, and Ben were all very friendly, professional, and super knowledgeable. I know there's an inherent risk in climbing, but I'm confident I can use what I learned from this program and climb much more safely outdoors. I'll be signing up for their other programs!

We just had an amazing weekend climbing in the Mammoth area. Greg, our guide, was so talented and hilarious! I learned so much and we climbed tons of amazing varied routes. We laughed learned and climbed hard. Cant wait to do more with you guys! Thanks for everything Ryan and Greg!

Ryan was absolutely phenomenal. Lines were set and tied in well before our meeting time. He had a great game plan for us. I'll be booking again soon.

Ryan is truly a top notch guiding service. Ryan is more than accommodating to work with, and the rapport we have with the guides is unmatched. Keep up the great work!
