In early February, two of our interns went in to the Pioneer Yurt and made an attempt on Cobb Peak. Their story, as written by Dan Schwartz, and a few more images can be seen by clicking here: http://danieljschwartz.net/the-climb/.
Joe St.Onge had a fun day ski touring with a old friend and a new recruit to the wonderful world of backcountry skiing.
February Corn?!
With the recent warm days and cold nights, Sun Valley Trekking guides: Joe St.Onge, Brian Vaughn and Patrick Graham went out yesterday to check for the 1st mid-winter corn and found it. 3000′ feet of carving brought smiles to everyone’s face on a beautiful sunny February day.
Don’t worry, there is still powder out there too….
One of our women’s daily powder groups who head out skiing most weeks, The Jewels on Tools, was up in the Galena Pass area this week with guide Marc Hanselman. From the looks of Marc’s images, as to where he took the Jewels, the skiing was phenomenal!
Earlier this week in the Sawtooth Mountains, Marc Hanselman guided a group of skiers for three days using our Sun Valley Trekking Bench Hut as basecamp. He reported back saying the trip was great with good snow stability, splitter blue skies, and untracked pow! Here are a few photos from his tour…

One of Sun Valley Trekking’s weekly guided powder tour groups enjoyed a beautiful day skiing the foothills to the Boulder Mountains with SVT guide Joe St.Onge. This amazing group of women, The Sirens of Snow, head out once a week to scouted locations where we know they’ll enjoy the best snow our area has to offer!
Joe St.Onge headed up Owl Creek on a classic blue bird January day and lined his group up for some fun powder turns 3 weeks into a dry spell.

This is a classic wilderness Haute Route, traversing some of the most beautiful ski mountains in the country. 9 days are spent skiing accross high mountain passes, camping in beautiful alpine basins and skiing amazing powder on the spectacular peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho.
Skiing between Sun Vallley Trekking’s Bench and Fishhook Huts in the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho. This is a great Haute Route ski expedition combining two nights at comfortable ski huts with two nights camping amongst the granite spires that give the Sawtooth their name. Amazing ski terrain abounds, ranging from steep couloirs to beautiful powder bowls in this seldom visited corner of our beautiful planet. On this trip, we found perfect stable powder on cooler aspects and beautiful sunny spring days, making for memories that last a lifetime!
