Idaho

Rich has done an annual backcountry yurt trip to Idaho since 2017. The mountains surrounding Sun Valley hold exceptional powder skiing and numerous skiing options. Spending 4-5 days simply skinning, skiing powder, and enjoying yurt life is a pleasure and something to look forward to each season. In partnership with Sun Valley Trekking and Sun Valley Guides

Japan

Japan offers a unique blend of terrific powder skiing, amazing local cuisine, relaxing onsens, and truly kind people. A weeklong powder adventure in Hokkaido is an adventure you won’t forget. Less of a “hard charging experience” and more of a “powder filled” cultural experience. In partnership with Red Raven Guides.

Chile

Equador

Rich has had the opportunity to guide the three tallest Volcanoes in Ecuador multiple times. Cayambe, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo.

The combination of flying into Quito, and close proximity of the peaks allows climbers to attempt multiple summits in a single expedition. Along with great food and accommodations!
