- Yellowstone National Park – this is the lesser visited part of Yellowstone National Park in winter but it tends to have the deepest snowpack and the most inspiring backcountry ski terrain. It’s well worth the effort to travel to this part of the state for an unforgettable journey where the road literally ends just a few miles past the park entrance. Here you have the landscape to yourself along with your MAG guide.
Duration: 2 days minimum. All trips are custom to fit your group. You decide when to meet your guide and when you want to turn around. We plan the ski tour around your preferences.
