Wasatch Backcountry Tours Offer Beginner-Friendly Introduction to Skiing and Snowboarding


Guided backcountry ski and snowboard tours in the Wasatch Mountains provide an accessible entry point for those new to the sport. Designed for beginners, the experiences take place in either Little or Big Cottonwood Canyon, selected based on snow conditions and the most suitable terrain.


These tours focus on getting participants into high alpine environments with minimal approach time, offering expansive views of the Wasatch Range. The setting combines natural beauty with a calm, uncrowded atmosphere that highlights the appeal of Utah’s backcountry slopes.


Instruction is included throughout the day, with guides teaching essential skills such as equipment use and skinning techniques. The tours are structured to support first-time backcountry users while ensuring a safe and educational experience on the snow.


Participants travel across gentle, rolling terrain with relatively low avalanche risk, making it suitable for a wide range of abilities. With approximately 1,500 to 3,000 feet of climbing and descent, the day offers a rewarding mix of activity and the chance to experience Utah’s renowned powder conditions.
