Ski. Laugh. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Eight skiers. Two guides. 14,000 exclusive acres of terrain covered in deep, backcountry powder. At Big Sky Backcountry Guides' Backcountry Tour Weeks, it's all about epic skiing and riding, enjoying great food, new friends, and peak experiences. Enjoy a fully guided, catered trip to Bell Lake Yurt with no strings attached--no minimum group size, no planning, and no stress. Come alone or with friends—all you need is an appetite for the backcountry, and we'll take care of the rest.

Over four days and three nights, you'll be part of a small group of other skiers from around the world, here to experience the amazing social tradition of European huts where mountain people meet to ski, eat, and converse high above the everyday rat race--deep in the Montana backcountry.

We take care of everything—guiding you into the best snow and terrain, cooking delicious meals, and providing an incredible standard of care and service--giving you time to relax and enjoy every moment. Two private guides ensure flexibility--during the day we can ski together or split into two groups based on ability and goals. And after surfing powder all day, the fun continues with uniquely Montana cuisine such as bison curry and elk bolognese. Enjoy a glass of wine while the woodstove crackles, play a game with new friends, or curl up on a memory foam mattress and take in the stars through the yurt's 5-foot diameter skylight. Our philosophy is that every element of your trip should combine to produce an experience you'll never forget.
