Masters Sessions

The longer you live the more beautiful the mountains become

Maintaining a youthful spirit is much more achievable than maintaining a spirited pace. Cruising through the Andes is a moment to savor with each graceful step as you climb to spectacular settings. Let us guide you to blissful descents on rejuvenating routes crafted just for you!

Strong to Expert

Strong:

I approach challenges in the mountains with consideration but feel confident in my abilities. I maintain a consistent and relaxed rhythm in tough snow conditions.

Expert:

I have excellent to impeccable technique with extensive backcountry experience. I charge from summit to valley and rejoice in challenging terrain because it makes me feel alive.

Cruiser to Proficient

Cruiser:

I prefer moderate pitches and numerous breaks during the ascent. I slow down in challenging or treed terrain and challenging snow conditions, but I am able to control my turn size and shape with ease.

Proficient:

I choose a moderate pace and keep it moving with short breaks as needed and when hungry. I ride or ski at a faster pace in the open and on moderately steep pitches. I am slightly hesitant in trees or when snow conditions are challenging.

What if we have a split in our group?

We do everything possible to vet all of our guests in an attempt to mitigate conflicts of style. If we need to we will bring in another guide for the second day.

Is there a minimum age?

We're going to keep this open to the 35 and up crowd.

How about an age limit?

If you're fit enough to be in the mountains we'd love to have you along for the journey.

What it's about

Enjoy each detail while ascending pristine peaks through otherworldly ancient forests in a Triassic landscape before pointing your tips downhill in beautiful arcs as you race toward the bottom.
