6. Ruby Mountains Heli Experience

Ruby Mountains, one of the world’s most elegant, incredible mountain ranges located in northeastern Nevada, offers a home away from home for powder enthusiasts.

And at the end of the day- dine, celebrate and relax in the luxury of the Ruby Mountain Lodge.

7. Pacific Crest Snowcats

The best-kept secret in Tahoe is California’s only snowcat-accessed private backcountry ski area — a total of 3,000 magical acres. Spend your day exploring the backcountry with options ranging from wide-open bowls and mellow trees to some of the steepest snowcat-accessed terrain in all of North America. Given the amount of north-facing terrain and perfectly spaced trees, guides can sniff out untracked snow weeks after a legendary Lake Tahoe dump, and the stable Sierra snowpack allows you to ski and ride aggressive slopes soon after a storm cycle.

8. Jones Pass Guides

Jones Pass Guides offers an authentic epic backcountry experience for winter sports enthusiasts.  Ideal for quick access from the Front Range of Colorado, you can quickly find yourself on the snow without hours of driving. The high altitude combined with good Northern exposure keeps the snow cold and light. With an operating permit of 2,600 acres in the Jones Pass area, you can expect a powder-filled, epic backcountry experience.
