About
Ski mountaineering blends the thrill of climbing up mountains with the joy of skiing back down. Using skins and technical gear, you ascend steep alpine terrain in a way that feels adventurous, efficient, and surprisingly fun. The real payoff comes when you transition at the summit and enjoy the smooth, exhilarating descent instead of walking down. It’s the perfect combination of mountain exploration, physical challenge, and pure downhill enjoyment. All of our climbers that start skiing down, never want to walk down a mountain again.
Ski mountaineering with Skyline is an exceptional experience thanks to our expert guides who bring deep technical knowledge, strong judgment, and a commitment to your success. We pace each day thoughtfully, ensuring you stay strong, comfortable, and well-supported as you move through complex alpine terrain. Our programs emphasize wide safety margins, including avalanche awareness, hazard evaluation, and sound decision-making in real time. Along the way, you’ll build essential rope skills, travel techniques, and mountain sense—giving you the confidence to ski bigger, more exciting lines with a higher level of safety and enjoyment.
