      <image:caption>Enjoy a week of skiing in Norway's beautiful Lyngen Alps - all from the comfort of a private sail boat. Using this as our base, we'll be able to reach areas that can't be approached by a car. We'll sail in the fjords of the Arctic Circle and literally begin our ski tours from remote snow covered beaches. We'll climb summits on skis with amazing views and then enjoy massive descents of untouched powder-snow - right back to the boat.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mt Shasta Summit Trip - Avalanche Gulch</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mt. Shasta is perfect as a first-time mountaineering experience for those interested in climbing big snow-covered mountains. In our 3 day beginner’s itinerary, we will take a more leisurely approach to climb to the summit via the standard Avalanche Gulch route. (After mid July we move over to the Clear Creek route for better conditions). We believe three days provides more time to properly acclimate and learn all the necessary basic mountaineering skills such as: Ice axe and crampon use Ice axe self arrest Snow climbing technique Basic rope travel Along the way we strive to ensure personal attention, fine food, and lots of fun.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mt Shasta Summit Trip - Hotlum-Bolum Ridge</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Hotlum-Bolum Ridge on Shasta’s North side is a great intermediate level mountaineering objective for those looking for more of a challenge and wilderness experience than the Avalanche Gulch Route. The route skirts between the Hotlum and Bolum glaciers from a more remote base camp and involves somewhat steeper and slightly more technical climbing than the Avalanche Gulch route. As a result, we run this climb at a lower guide to guest ratio of one guide to three guests. In our 3 day Shasta North side climb we leave out of a North side trail head to establish a quiet base camp at the base of the route. The views and the wilderness solitude are breathtaking. On day two we will cover all the basic mountaineering skills and introduce some more intermediate skills such as: Ice axe and crampon use Ice axe self arrest Snow climbing and alpine ice climbing technique Rope travel using snow anchors and belaying Day three is the big push to the summit with an early alpine start. The views are spectacular. After our summit attempt, we descend back to camp, pack up, and head back to town.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mt Shasta Summit Trip - Glacier Travel &amp; Crevasse Rescue Course</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our glacier travel &amp; crevasse rescue course is designed for those looking to take their mountaineering &amp; alpine climbing skills to the next level. This is a comprehensive mountaineering course conducted on the beautiful Hotlum Glacier - Mt Shasta's heavily glaciated north side. Technical mountaineering instruction includes: Glacier Travel &amp; Navigation Rope Team Travel &amp; Belaying Crevasse Rescue Alpine Ice Climbing Glacial Navigation Crevasse rescue training will include all hauling systems and one-on-one rescue techniques. We will also do some ice climbing on the glacier features or out of an open crevasse. The course culminates with a climb of Mount Shasta via a spectacular technical glacier route - The Hotlum Glacier. The route follows an S curve past three ice falls and numerous crevasse crossings. The Hotlum Glacier has all the features of a large cascade glacier and provides a great glaciated mountaineering challenge right here in California. Along the way we strive to ensure personal attention, good times and lots of fun! Perfect climbing and mountaineering training for those who have goals that include the large glaciated peaks of the world...or for those who simply want a taste of those glaciated peaks closer to home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Zermatt to Alagna - The Ultimate Freeride Experience</image:title>
      <image:caption>Freeride skiing…it’s what every backcountry skier who comes to Europe wants but just didn’t know it. And Alagna, Italy has possibly the best of it. Freeride skiing is mostly a European term than describes a style of backcountry skiing that Europe is famous for. You could call it “lift served backcountry” but that just doesn’t give it justice considering the massive difference between European and North American ski resorts. Freeride skiing means using the extensive lift systems in the Alps to access massive amounts of backcountry ski terrain with perhaps some skinning and ski mountaineering involved. We are talking runs with five to six thousand feet of vertical.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Walker's Haute Route - A Classic Alpine Adventure</image:title>
      <image:caption>The summer trek from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland is a classic adventure that cuts through some of the most spectacular alpine terrain on the planet with high alpine passes, quaint villages, and sweeping mountain vistas. Our adventurous style combines the experience of staying at rustic alpine huts as well as the luxury of comfortable 3 and 4-star inns. And since food and bedding or provided, we can hike each day with just a lightweight day pack. It’s the best of both worlds! Almost all of the Haute Route hike is along alpine trails. Very little off-trail hiking is encountered, but we do make use of ladders in some areas and perhaps encounter an easy snow field or glacier crossing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Walker's Haute Route - The Itinerary Overview</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Haute Route Trek begins at the traditional starting point in the French alpine village of Chamonix. We then quickly cross into French-speaking Switzerland. After hiking through the town of Verbier, we make our way high into the Swiss alps and begin using the high mountain hut system. We make our way across an easy glacier crossing and eventually end up in the small Swiss village of Arolla and then through high mountain passes into German-speaking Switzerland. The last leg takes us through more small villages and into the Visp Valley where we eventually arrive in the car free town of Zermatt under the shadow of the iconic Matterhorn. Guests should be in good physical condition and have some previous hiking experience. The ability to hike up to 11 miles a day with a day pack is necessary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mexico Volcanoes - High Altitude Climbing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Three of the highest Mexican volcanoes in a 9-day itinerary: Pico de Orizaba, Iztaccihuatl, and La Malinche. These peaks provide a perfect experience for those with international high altitude mountain climbing goals and also for those who simply want to climb Orizaba, North America's third highest peak at 18,490 ft. We work exclusively with our partners at International Alpine Guides who have refined this particular trip over their twelve years of operating in Mexico. They have run over 28 climbing expeditions to Orizaba and we feel they have the best itinerary to ensure proper acclimatization to give you the best possible summit success. We avoid unnecessary and uncomfortable high camps and provide private lodging as much as possible. And in addtion, we combine it all with a taste of the rich Mexican culture and history by exploring Mexico City, the pyramids of Teotihuacan, and Puebla - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mexico Volcanoes - The Itinerary Overview</image:title>
      <image:caption>From Mexico City, we will first tour the famous pyramids of Teotihuacan. Then we travel to the beautiful slopes of La Malinche, where we begin our acclimating in comfortable cabins at a resort located right at the trailhead (10,000 ft). From here we climb La Malinche (14,600 ft) and are rewarded with striking views of our next climbing objectives: Ixtaccihuatl and Pico de Orizaba. Then it's on to Ixtaccihautl. After an acclimating hike to 14,800 ft, we move to the Altzomoni climbers lodge at 13,000 ft to continue our acclimatization. The next day, we’ll climb ‘Ixta’ via the ‘knees’ route and catch spectacular views of the active volcano Popcatepetl. The next two days are dedicated to rest in the cosmopolitan colonial city of Puebla where we spend time exploring the traditional Mexican markets as well as sampling some of the finest cuisine Mexico has to offer. Not only is the extra day a fascinating exploration of the heart of Mexican culture, it is a needed recovery for your body at a lower altitude. Our acclimating complete, we journey to the base of Pico de Orizaba where we take an exciting 4WD trip to our camp. The views are spectacular as the central Mexico plain spreads out 11,000 feet below the summit. Then it's back to Puebla for a celebratory dinner. The next day we will drop you off at the Mexico City airport for flights home or in Mexico City if you are extending your stay (highly recommended).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Norway Sail &amp; Ski - Enjoy a week of backcountry skiing in Norway's beautiful Lyngen Alps - all from the comfort of a private sail boat.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Using a boat as our base, we'll be able to reach destinations that can't be approached by a car. We'll sail in the fjords of the Arctic Circle and literally begin the ski tours from remote snow covered beaches. We'll climb summits with amazing views and then enjoy massive descents of untouched powder-snow - right back to the boat. We’ll have all the necessary elements to make a cozy home for the week including: central heating, personal cabins with double berths, hot showers, and en-suite toilets, as well as a combined kitchen/living area to relax in after skiing. With several hundred summits in the area, the Lyngen Alps is a skiers Mekka. You'll discover an endless variety of challenges, so you will always have a tour that fits your personal ambitions and level of fitness. Even the most dedicated off-piste skiers will manage to fulfill their dreams.</image:caption>
