Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Jackson, Wyoming

Arrive at Jackson Hole Airport where you'll meet your guides and fellow adventurers (4 PM). After checking into a cozy lodge in Jackson, you'll participate in a comprehensive gear check and trip briefing. The day wraps up with an avalanche safety refresher and group dinner to kick off the journey.

Day 2 - Approach to the Tetons

We start early with a hearty breakfast before heading into the Teton backcountry. The day involves skinning through alpine terrain as we make our approach and establish a base camp. In the afternoon, we’ll do a short tour to acclimate and settle into the rhythm of life in the mountains.

Day 3 - Backcountry Touring and First Big Descents

With the base camp set, we begin exploring deeper lines and high alpine objectives. Terrain selection depends on conditions, but expect powder descents and steep couloirs. The day focuses on maximizing vertical while emphasizing avalanche awareness and group movement in technical terrain.

Day 4 - Peak Pursuits and Couloir Challenges

Today may include an ascent of a classic peak like Nez Perce or a traverse to new terrain. You'll skin through dramatic ridgelines, bootpack up chutes, and earn thrilling freeride descents. Snowpack assessments continue throughout as we adapt to changing conditions.

Day 5 - Deep in the Wilderness

This day may be a roving tour to a new zone or a high camp repositioning, depending on group energy and snow conditions. With wide-open bowls and hidden stashes, this is a full-value day with potential for some of the longest runs of the trip.

Day 6 - Signature Line and Sunset Descent

As the expedition nears its peak, we aim for a signature descent—a dream line worthy of the journey. After reaching a remote summit, we’ll celebrate with a panoramic view and drop in. That evening, we gather at camp under starlit skies to share stories from the adventure.

Day 7 - Final Tour and Return to Jackson

Our final morning starts with a sunrise tour and one last descent before breaking camp. We skin out of the Tetons and return to civilization, arriving back in Jackson for a well-earned shower and a celebratory group dinner in town.

Day 8 - Departure

After breakfast at the lodge, it’s time to say goodbye to the group and head to Jackson Hole Airport for your journey home, carrying unforgettable memories and fresh powder stoke (11 AM).
