    Guides

    The Highland Powder Skiing mountain guides are certified to meet or exceed the qualifications requirements of the Helicopter Snowcat Skiing Operators Association. They have extensive experience in backcountry skiing, avalanche forecasting and safety, first aid and mountain rescue, and group making assessments and decisions that take into account the safety and comfort of individual skiers and of the group.

    Please follow your mountain guide's instructions. All skiers wear avalanche transceivers and are trained in their use. Guest Safety is of primary importance.
