Quick Details
The cascade volcanoes provide the perfect opportunity to combine mountaineering with backcountry skiing. This guided trip will take you through fun mountaineering terrain, through big glaciers or up steep snowy faces. Then, take you down those same faces on skis or snowboards, providing you the most fun and adventurous way to descend these mountains.. This is the best way to explore the mountains in the Pacific Northwest.
These trips take 1-3 days, depending on the specific objective.
All trips start with mandatory online pre-trip meeting, before heading to the mountain. If the objective requires an overnight stay on the mountain, then plan on heading to basecamp on day 1, then going for the summit on day 2 and skiing back to camp, then descending to the car.
18+ for adult courses, 16+ with a parent or guardian.
