“Our experience was fantastic! I had never been hiking in the snow. The guides were prepared, supportive and fun. We enjoyed all of the information about the mountain and the tribes." ~Traci, 2023 “It was perfection! I had not thought about the many options for snow hiking and how to use the equipment. I feel much better prepared and a much greater appreciation for the mountain." ~Matt, 2023 "The guides had a focus on safety and comfort and were especially knowledgable about the natural history of the area." ~Nick, 2022
