Sidecountry Skiing

Sidecountry Skiing The Best of Resort and Backcountry Adventures

The lure of unexplored terrain and untracked powder is too strong for many snowboarders and skiers to resist. However, the trip there may be equally as exciting as the turns. Lift-assisted ski touring, often known as sidecountry skiing or slackcountry skiing, can be the ideal experience for you if you enjoy the beauty and difficulty of backcountry skiing but don't necessarily want to do lengthy ascents on your own. It blends the thrill of discovering secluded areas away from the crowds with the ease of resort access.

What is Sidecountry Skiing?

Enjoying the best of both worlds is the main goal of sidecountry skiing. After rapidly increasing your altitude on the ski resort lift to begin the day, you switch to touring mode to reach backcountry terrain outside the resort's limits.

Sidecountry skiing differs from resort skiing in that it involves more than just following designated lines and groomed tracks. Lifts serve as an effective detour instead, freeing up additional time for you to pursue new powder, discover uncharted areas, and securely take in unspoiled mountain scenery.

Why Choose PowderQuest for Lift-Assisted Tours

Not many operators provide backcountry trips with lift assistance, particularly as a primary trip type. Many people only go on complete backcountry trips or resort skiing.

With knowledgeable local multilingual guides who understand how to maximize lift access and uncover hidden terrain, PowderQuest has been creating sidecountry skiing experiences for more than 20 years. Our tours are perfect for adventurous skiers of all skill levels since they allow you to enjoy the excitement of snow skiing without the lengthy climbs, whether you're in South America or Japan.

Combining the greatest elements of backcountry adventure with resort ease is made possible by sidecountry skiing. You may spend more time on fresh powder, exploring far-flung areas, and relishing the freedom of unexplored terrain when you use lifts to increase your altitude.

You may visit some of the most renowned powder areas in South America and Japan thanks to PowderQuest's decades of experience and knowledgeable guides, making each day spent on the slopes an amazing experience.
