Join us in Patagonia this coming Winter to ski and snowboard first descents with ski guide Luke Smithwick
Patagonia has it all for all intermediate and higher levels of backcountry skiers and snowboarders. We choose the late Winter season for ease of access to base camps with horses (and porters), and for snow stability and great variety of choice in ski objectives.
Backcountry skiing Patagonia.
SETUP
What sets us apart is our groups. We are small. Guide ratios are 4 skiers to 1 ski guide. This enables us to cater each day for the group ability, interest, and experience. We will make this trip “your” experience.
