Overview of a custom Backcountry Ski Day

Skiing embodies joy, freedom, and exploration, and there’s no better way to experience this than by skiing in the backcountry. Whether you're seeking to escape the crowds of the resorts or are drawn to the allure of powder turns, a backcountry adventure is worth trying. Let our experienced guides introduce you to the backcountry and help you make the most of it.

A custom skiing day with Vertex Mountain Guides is tailored specifically to your goals and desires. We meet you where you are and adjust the experience to fit your previous skiing experience, goals, and desired learning outcomes.

Booking a custom day with Vertex Mountain Guides offers more than just a day on the slopes. Your guide will reach out in advance to understand your preferences and begin crafting a personalized experience. Every aspect of the day is customizable, whether it’s starting later, choosing a specific skiing venue, or adding another lap.

Our goal is to build lasting partnerships, and we are committed to providing follow-up support to assist you on your journey in the mountains.

Our default timeframe is 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. We are happy to work with you and decide on a time frame to meet your needs.
Some objectives may necessitate an earlier start time- we will work that out with you ahead of time.
We often ski around Mount Washington, but there are many areas to explore in New Hampshire. If we decide there is a better location to suit your goals, then we will arrange to meet and ski where that is.
