After a thorough safety brief, we skin up, over a small glacier and up to the so-called Smile (you will understand when you see it!). Then we carve our turns down an amazing slope that leads us to a bubbling hot spring area. 

After some exploration, we skin back up to the Smile and swoosh back down to where we started.

Learn the basics from the best. Our elite ski guides teach skiing at all levels and will also cover the main subjects of safe backcountry etiquette and avalanche awareness. 

We will start by going over the basics of backcountry skiing, before heading up the slopes for a fun ride down. After a couple of runs we will return to Highland base for a hearty lunch break before heading out again to show those slopes what we are made of.
