what participants are saying
We have been hunting for the freshest tracks for years on resorts and decided to try the Backcountry. Henry H. guided us up to the best views and deep fluffy stuff. He knew the area really well and also catered to our fitness level and equipment (my split board was a bit slower). Henry’s knowledge and tips were very helpful. He also shared some cool details and stories about the area. Our first time in the backcountry was perfect, thanks Henry. We will be back!!

I had a wonderful time in the Backcountry with Paragon Guides. Nick, my guide, did a wonderful job teaching, entertaining, and skiing/guiding to my level. This was my first trip into the backcountry to ski, and after this experience, I look forward to many more! If you’re looking for a great company and want to get out of the lift lines and ski untouched snow….look no further!!
