South and Middle Sister Traverse
(3 Days)
Combining the summits of these two Oregon giants is an awesome ski trip. Blending relatively moderate levels of mountaineering and tons of skiing, this trip is an excellent choice for those folks with more skiing experience than climbing. There are a few times where we may break out the rope, ice axe and crampons, but no previous mountaineering experience is necessary. Backcountry experience skiing with a pack is a required prerequisite for this program.
Offered: This program can be scheduled at any time with April through late May being optimal.
Cost: $720 per skier for a group of 2 or more.

Three Sisters Traverse
(3 Days)
For the experienced backcountry skier and climber, this traverse is the cream of the crop! Oregon's most difficult skiing/climbing objective is phenomenal, and our most demanding traverse. Requiring a solid mountaineering skill-set as well as backcountry skiing experience, this is a highly sought after objective. Climbing and skiing with an overnight pack is a prerequisite for this trip.
Offered: This program can be scheduled at any time with April through late May being optimal.
Cost: $720 per skier for a group of 2 or more.

Three Sisters Spring Ski Camp
(3 Days)
With the wealth of skiable lines in the Three Sisters Wilderness, it's hard to know where to begin! We'll ski in to establish camp and make daily forays out to seek the best conditions in the area. This trip differs from our traverses in that we will be operating out of a base camp.
Offered: This program can be scheduled at any time with April through late May being optimal.
