For 25 years, Mountain Skills Guides have been providing guided outdoor trips in New Mexico and around the world. We now proudly offer guided backcountry skiing and riding in Northern New Mexico near Taos Ski Valley. Some of the regions most accomplished skiers are on staff led by our AMGA/IFMGA internationally certified Program Director.

Join us for a memorable trip in the wilderness. Whether it’s powder, spring corn, variable conditions or perhaps the stash of your dreams, our guides will help you overcome technical hurdles to complete a classic ski descent. One great run in the backcountry can provide the memory of a lifetime.

Choose from easy, moderate, or extreme lines depending on your ability and the current snow pack. Varied terrain, expert staff, beautiful vistas, and rich culture combine to provide our visitors with an exceptional backcountry experience.
