Private/custom backcountry skiing & ski mountaineering instruction and guided trips are available from Synnott Mountain Guides anytime during the winter/spring season. They are a great option if you or your group would like targeted backcountry skiing instruction or have a specific route/location in mind. We’ll work with you to spell out the details, tailor the course or trip to fit your needs, or do whatever is necessary for you (or you and your party) to meet your goals.

Additionally, if our listed online options don’t meet your needs, please email [email protected] or call (603) 733-8416 to book your backcountry skiing instruction or guided trip.
