Ski Touring.

Stay in shape.

The Tsaina backyard is home to world class ski touring. Stairway and The Promise Land are a couple of the popular ski touring destinations just behind the lodge. Most guests are happy with a smaller hike, but it is possible to climb to the top. We have several pairs of ski touring set ups with climbing skins that can adjust to your boots. We also have snowshoes for boarders. If you want to get some exercise outside of The Tsaina Lodge gym and make some turns, join us for a tour in the backyard.

Weather.

Storm days are perfect for a tour in the backyard. The first bench is a quick hit and provides good turns in a sheltered area with reasonable visibility in the trees and alders. This takes about 20-30 minutes and many guests prefer to ski multiple laps here because the visibility is the best and often the snow quality, too.

Equipment.

If you already have touring equipment, bring it. We have touring set ups that will adjust to normal downhill ski boots as well as snow shoes for boarders that are sufficient to get out and enjoy the terrain. Wear layers. Hot going up, cold going down.

Guides.

Your Guide will help you adjust your skis and put the skins on and teach you touring techniques. The guides will take you on a tour that fits your ability. Backcountry skiing is getting more popular every year and this could be a great opportunity to learn some new skills.
