Huckleberry Canyon is lauded by Tahoe locals as some of the steepest and deepest terrain in the Lake Tahoe basin. Adult skiers and snowboarders who would like to venture out one of the five gates into Huckleberry Canyon but would like to go with a guide can take advantage of the Backcountry Lesson.
The Lesson
The Backcountry Lesson will focus on an introduction to backcountry equipment, route selection and skier/rider improvement. Participants will be given required backcountry equipment during the lessons, and can get snowshoes (for snowboarders, if needed) and fat skis at a discount through ski rental for the day.
