“It was my first time climbing on snow, and they patiently taught us everything from crampon work and ice axe self-arrest to glissading.”

From the reviews

Our Alpenglow ski experience lead by Logan Talbot was incredible. The terrain we went into had a lot of options. His knowledge and experience of the area and snowpack lined us up to ski steep and very high quality snow.

I had a really good experience with Alpenglow. The instructors are really good and definitely recommended for any ski/snowboarder looking for an introduction to backcountry skiing. Apart from lessons cost, we had to pay additional 55$ for a rental avalanche kit.

Incredible experience on Mt. Shasta's West Face with Alex and Mike from Alpenglow Expeditions! It was my first time climbing on snow, and they patiently taught us everything from crampon work and ice axe self-arrest to glissading.

★★★★★ — Marco, May 2026

This was amazing! Our guide Tristen was very friendly, he gave very clear and straightforward instructions. The view were amazing and Tristen has fun facts to go along with the sights. I would highly recommend. It was beginner friendly
