Tracks of Her Own

is a 100% woman owned and operated backcountry ski and splitboard guiding company based in the Sierra Nevada, CA. It was created to provide a space for women to empower each other in the mountains through skill-building, adventure, connection and community.

Founded by an AMGA trained female mountain guide and avalanche forecaster, Tracks of Her Own offers unique winter backcountry experiences designed specifically for women.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, our programming is meant to meet you where you’re at. We’ll learn the basics, refine our skills, and push our limits, one track at a time.

  • Mountain Movement Courses

    Our 2 Day - Mountain Movement Course will teach you how to move confidently and efficiently in the backcountry terrain you want to explore. You’ll walk away with solid movement fundamentals, an expanded sense of self, and heightened spatial and situational awareness in mountainous terrain.

    When movement becomes second nature, your decision-making gets sharper, your awareness expands, and your learning deepens.
