Backcountry ski tours offer the chance to ski in privately owned terrain, enjoying all the mountains have to offer without the headaches of a resort.
As with all of our tours we design an experience especially for your group. That being said, skiing in the backcountry requires different considerations form resort skiing. As such, we provide several key services with each of our trips.
- Experienced guides knowledgeable of terrain and snow pack
- Small group size (max 6 clients)
- Client:guide ratio of no more than 3:1
- Transport to and from Mendoza
- Accommodation in fully equipped cabin
Also we must ask that only skiers/snowboarders of intermediate ability or better apply for these tours, not only for safety, but for your enjoyment as well.

Itinerary:
Meeting you in Mendoza we first ensure you have the necessary equiptment, all of which we have available for you to rent and/or borrow.
After the about 75 minute drive to the cabin we will be ready to get out on the snow.
During the days our time will be spent skiing and hiking/skinning between 8,000 and 13,000ft. Accessing open bowls of snow above tree line, we will be surrounded by peaks reaching up to 18,000ft. Throughout the day we will stop for snacks, lunch and hot drinks to stay well fed and hydrated.
Returning before sunset to our cabin at 8,500ft, there will be hot showers, hot food prepared by our own chef and paired with local wines, and, of course, beds and a fire to keep you warm.
