Deep powder, comfortable lodge, local guide, cook, and gourmet meals; all you have to do is show up and ski. You will be sharing the lodge with a small group of friends in a remote wilderness setting. Having a guide will ensure that you get the best ski week possible. In addition, their familiarity with the area will allow you to comfortably travel to some of the farther corners of Icefall’s huge area.
To ski tour with a guide at Icefall Lodge, you must be an advanced skier. Previous backcountry experience is helpful, but everybody has a first time. You should be comfortable skiing black diamond runs at a ski hill, although if you can ski powder better than piste, this may not be a problem. Either telemark or randonee gear is fine. If you are on telemark equipment, you should have stiff boots and modern powder skis. If you are on randonee, the boots are stiff and it is still good to have modern powder skis. Your boots should be broken in and not giving you blisters. Snowboarders should be using a split board setup and should be experienced with their equipment.
