Trip: Backcountry Skiing /Splitboarding
Guide: Jordan D., Chris T.
Chris and Jordan were exceptional guides. Our group had an amazing 2 days skiing with them. They were excellent with communication, timely, knowledgeable about the area and conditions, and strived to get the best turns for us. Weather wasn’t completely on our side but they adjusted plans to get us the best skiing available. We felt extremely safe on our trip. Best guides we’ve worked with!! Would love to ski with them again.
