Golden State Guiding is excited to announce our 2024 Sierra Spring Touring Camps are officially open for registration! Join us for a 3 day, overnight Spring Touring Camp in the beautiful Eastern Sierra as we dive into essential backcountry skiing & splitboarding topics such as travel and time management planning, track setting and route finding, uphill travel techniques using ski/splitboard crampons, utilizing mapping software while in the field, avalanche terrain discussions, basecamp setup, spring camping tips and tricks, and much more. And of course, we’ll boot up some epic terrain, and get some great spring skiing and riding in along the way!
Intro to Backcountry Splitboarding Course Recap
Another great weekend in the high country for our Intro to Splitboarding Course in the Eastern Sierra! Nothing more satisfying than watching our guests grow throughout the season after attending multiple programs. Nearly all of our guests for this outing attend our Split 101, Intro to Splitboarding, an AIARE Level 1 and then topped it off with an overnight backcountry trip where they got to experience some big terrain! Big thanks to all those who attended our IBC course and special thanks to GSG Ski Guide @janczyzewski for facilitating another awesome weekend and to GSG Ambassador @jamesonschultz.studio for capturing all the special moments. We’re already working on our 2022 winter programming so stay tuned for some exciting courses coming your way soon! Click the button below to view the full IBC photo gallery!

AIARE Level 1 Course // Mammoth Lakes
Great weekend up in the mountains during an @aiare_official Level 1 Avalanche course facilitated by @ryanahuetter, @janczyzewski and the @sierramountaincenter. Continued education is something we as guides continuously seek out whether for professional or recreational use. We highly recommend taking the AIARE Level 1 course whether you’re a guide looking to further your career in the alpine or someone who simply loves backcountry travel. The course is incredibly informative and worth every penny. Big thanks to Ryan, Jan, Sierra Mountain Center and AIARE for facilitating a great 3 days. #goldenstateguiding@amga1979
