June Mountain Off-Piste Skiing
Do you get "piste off" at the masses stealing all of your fresh tracks at the ski area? Then go "Off-Piste" with SMG!
June Mountain may be renowned for its low angle groomers and family-friendly atmosphere, but just a short hike away lies some of the best lift-accessed backcountry terrain in the West. Access the Nome Zone, Upper Glass Creek, San Joaquin Ridge, the Negatives, Fern Creek, Carson Peak, Devil's Slide, Four Seasons, and more just a short out-of bounds tour away. SMG guides live and ski in the June Mountain Area, so we know the area well. Conditions permitting we can enjoy a 5,000 foot ski run to the road, with only a little more than 2,000 feet of climbing. Some of the best value skiing in the Sierra!
We offer economical one day off-piste ski days at June Mountain for intermediate to advanced skiers. We also recommend custom June Mountain off-piste programs for skiers who wish to get off of the groomed slopes for their first time with minimal touring. This is a great way for intermediate skiers to try out backcountry snow conditions for the first time. For expert skiers, there is no shortage of easily accessed steeps in a dramtic alpine setting.
