BACKCOUNTRY DAY TRIPS: SKI, SNOWBOARD AND SNOWSHOE TOURS

Discover the beauty and magic of the Sun Valley, Idaho backcountry! We offer half and full-day outings suitable for all ages and abilities and we take care of everything! A delicious lunch, transportation, and the company of an expert guide are included. All equipment is available for rent.

Head out for a Boulder Yurt Dinner!BOULDER YURT DINNER- Enjoy a beautiful one-mile ski or snowshoe tour to the hut, as alpenglow on towering peaks whets the appetite. Settle into the warmth and luxury of an authentic Mongolian double yurt, and savor a delicious four-course feast catered by a catering company. Wine, song, and a trip to the sauna are optional ways to limber up for the gentle ski out under shimmering Idaho stars.

WILDERNESS SNOWSHOE TOURS - Join us as we snowshoe through wooded meadows in the magnificent mountains north of Sun Valley. Discover why snowshoeing is the fastest growing winter sport. It's easy, fun, and you'll never forget the beauty of the winter backcountry. We set you up with a well fitted pair of snowshoes, make sure you've got the right clothing, then travel as near or far as appropriate.


CROSS-COUNTRY SKI TOURS - Come with us as we explore cross-country skiing both on and off groomed trails. It doesn’t take long to understand why the Sun Valley area is one of the world's premier Nordic resorts. We have hundreds of miles of trails -- everything from easy jaunts to marathons. Tell us what you're up for, and we'll provide it!

BACKCOUNTRY SKI OR SNOWBOARD - When snow conditions at the ski resort are less than sublime, join us for downhill turns that will make you smile. Our expert guides will help you transition from ski area to backcountry. Learn about avalanche safety and ski and snowboard technique -- all levels welcome. We’ll seek out the best powder, tailor the day for your group, and take fun and awareness to the next level.

FAMILY FUN DAY- Explore the backcountry with your whole family! Even kids can handle the short ski or snowshoe to Boulder Yurt (and we can pull the wee ones on a safe and comfy sled!). Warm up and enjoy a delicious lunch. Those who want to extend the tour can head back out for more while others relax in the comfort of the yurt, do laps on our own private sledding hill, even take a sauna.

 

Prices: 1/2 day $90.00 per person, full day $100.00 per person
with a group of 4 or more

We'll show you how to have fun in the Idaho backcountry!
