There are numerous fantastic areas to enjoy a day of backcountry skiing in the Sierra Nevada. However the area around the town of Mammoth Lakes has to be one of the best. Due to its location in the eastern Sierra Nevada, and its high altitude, there is an abundance of fresh powder during the winter months. As a result, there is ample terrain that can be explored throughout the area. Thus making it one of the best places to ski in the entire mountain range.
The scenery you will get to enjoy throughout this day trip is absolutely unforgettable. From the peaks above to the vast landscape beyond, you will be in a constant state of amazement. And when it comes to the skiing, you will have your choice of fantastic descents as well. Some of those descents include Mammoth Crest and Mount McGree.
Furthermore, the town itself is a great place to spend a few days, as there are wonderful accommodations for every taste. So while this backcountry trip is for only 1 day, you could easily spend several days in Mammoth Lakes.
In order to enjoy this trip, participants should be able to ski downhill at an advanced level. They should also be adept at skiing in ungroomed conditions. Finally, as this can be a physically demanding trip, participants should also be in good physical condition.
If you are looking to ski in the Sierra Nevada, but want to be away from the crowds, then this day of backcountry skiing around the resort town of Mammoth Lakes is for you. It is both challenging and rewarding, and is a trip you will not soon forget. So send us a request, and let us guide through this incredible, beautiful area.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
