Here is an example of a daily itinerary for a seven-day ski touring and freeride trip in the Jackson Hole region, Wyoming:

​

Day 1: Arrival in Jackson Hole in the late afternoon. After meeting you at Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), our guides will accompany you to your lodge. There, you can settle into your accommodation and, if required, arrange equipment hire. 

The very next morning, you can begin your stay with a day’s skiing off-piste. Take this opportunity to get used to the skiing conditions in the region.

Day 2:  First day in deep snow with one of our experienced guides. After a briefing on safety when skiing off-piste, your guide will first take you on easy routes to get you up to speed. You will then gradually move on to more remote and wilder routes in the mountains to offer you a unique skiing experience. They will also give you tips on how to improve your technique in deep snow.

With these precautions in place, you can safely enjoy the incredible experience of off-piste skiing and freeride skiing in the Jackson Hole region to the full.

 

It is also important to note that weather conditions may affect your skiing itinerary. In the event of bad weather, your guide may adjust the route to ensure your safety and comfort. Stay in regular contact with your guide to receive the latest information on snow conditions and weather forecasts.
