Nestled in the Tahoe National Forest,
north of Truckee, CA, exists a magical swath of land purchased and protected by the Truckee - Donner Land Trust. On this land exists the luxurious, private Frog Lake Backcountry Huts at the base of Frog Lake Cliffs. Come ski/splitboard amongst old growth forest, and then relax by the fire, stretch, and hang with your gal pals while your guides prepare you a decadent Apres and dinner. Guides are all AMGA trained and prioritize safety and quality turns as best as possible. We’ve got the hut reserved, we know the terrain, we porter in the food, all you need is your touring kit, a change of clothes, and a desire to explore.
This trip is perfect for the confident intermediate - advanced skier/rider with moderate fitness and AT LEAST 5 backcountry tours under their belt. We’ll be moving at a relaxed pace, but trying to ski/ride 2000’ to 3000’ over the course of a few runs each day! Must be comfortable using your touring gear. Reach out with questions :)
Sign up with a friend, or on your own. Let’s celebrate this landscape, the beauty of skiing/splitboarding, and each other with laughs, sparkles (biodegradable), and turns.
Mt Shasta
is CA’s tallest volcano (14,171’). It sits at the southern edge of the Cascades, towering over Northern CA. Thought to be the Root Chakra of the Earth by some, and the home of the Lemurians (aliens) by others, adventuring on Shasta comes with mysticism and lore. Not to mention, Shasta is home to amazing geology, which provides for an incredible amount of ski/splitboarding terrain. Terrain ranges from treed glades to low angle open bowls, to steep chutes at high elevations. It’s our absolute favorite place to explore in May, and we’d love to have you join us!
