Alpine terrain like this is yours for the asking on the Sawtooth Haute Route
Across the haute route!

SAWTOOTH HAUTE ROUTE- A classic alpine experience. Traverse remote passes, climb pristine peaks, and ski the virgin slopes of this spectacular range. We'll camp in timberline cirque basins beside frozen lakes and crest sculpted ridges framed by granite faces and towers. This 55 mile route follows the jagged spine of the Sawtooths from north to south. Intermediate to expert skiing ability, physical fitness, and an appetite for rugged beauty and adventure are all that's required. This trip is a bright jewel in any skier's crown.

Duration: 9 days. Dates: April 19-27, 2008. Price: $1800.00 per person.

Yellowstone!
On the scenic Bechler River

YELLOWSTONE SKI TRAVERSE- Join us for a ski exploration of the beautiful Bechler River Region in the remote southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. Scan the basins for elk, moose, bison, and the elusive wolf as we glide through America’s First National Park in the winter, away from the maddening crowds. Bathe in steaming hot springs beneath the Grand Teton backdrop at the end of each exhilarating day.
Dates: March 15-22, 2008

MONOLITH SKI MOUNTAINEERING, IDAHO- A favorite trip for hut skiers and backcountry enthusiasts who seek an alpine “haute route” experience. The best of both worlds, this five-day expedition includes both hut stays and snow camping in the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains. Granite towers and giant bowls dominate this mountainscape. This trip has a European flavor to it and so will its exquisite haute cuisine!
Dates:April 11-15, 2008. Price: $875.00 per person.

SAINT ELIAS SKI MOUNTAINEERING, ALASKA- The trip of a lifetime! This vast and isolated range harbors ice fields the size of some New England states! Join us as we traverse part of this massive wilderness on skis seeking out many first ascent and descent peak opportunities along the way. This is truly a vast and spectacular region of the world that has scarcely seen the impact of humans. (Prior climbing experience is not necessary, but strong intermediate skiing abilities are required. We provide climbing and ski instruction during the expedition.)
Duration: 10 Days. Dates: May 9-18, 2008
