Nordic Skiing Park City Utah ~ Backcountry Adventures

Backcountry Skiing
The Wasatch Mountains offer some of the finest backcountry skiing opportunities in the lower 48 states. Plentiful snowfall and excellent terrain mean that you won’t have to look very far to find endless slopes of untracked powder. The backcountry can be a dangerous place, however, and only experienced skiers with proper knowledge and skills to safely negotiate avalanche terrain should venture off the beaten path.

A better alternative is to hook up with a local guide service. Their trained guides know exactly where to go and have many years safely taking groups into the backcountry. The following companies are your best bet while staying in Park City:
