Spring Backcountry Camp
The Slay-Dees Ski Camp will take your backcountry skills to the next level. No we aren’t able to see city lights from the summit of our peaks. This is the Uintas, where remote lines rarely (if ever) get skied and the summits offer a sea of peaks as far as the eye can see.
​
These 4 days and 3 nights are all about you becoming the backcountry skier you desire to be. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and support and mentor you through the process. From assessing a spring-time snowpack to setting a consistent up track our team of certified and experienced guides are there to walk you through the skills necessary for stepping into more remote locations with confidence.
​
From the moment we get to the trailhead you know this is the real deal as we load up your snowmobile which you will drive 6 miles and 2000' to your very own backcountry yurt. This isn't any yurt, this is The Castle Peak Yurt that is adorned with all the comforts of a backcountry lodge, plus a wood burning barrel sauna. There are no other structures around and the options for ski touring are pretty much limitless.
​
All you have to do is show up ready to learn and have fun and we’ll take care of the rest.

Empower Growth
Build Community
Inspire All
Back in the 90s and early 2000s being a woman in the outdoor industry was not something to be celebrated. Rather I learned how to beat the boys at their own games. Go bigger, be tougher, and above all, don't let any other girl take my place.
​
That toughness has taken some time to melt off. In the face of a growing movement of women celebrating women, I have found that I was really missing something in my outdoor experiences.
​
Now, I am taking what I have come to love about being in the backcountry with women and sharing a platform that seeks to inspire all to find their place and people. The SlayDees programs are about build confidence and find flow, while honing hard skills that allow us to choose to be leaders amongst our piers.
​
To Slay is not about killing or conquering the mountain; Rather to slay is a mindset of confidence, and the development of skills that lead us to overcoming our own insecurities, so that we are free to find our own expression while traveling in these wild places. To become a SlayDee is to learn the skills to to do something exceptionally well and with a style that is unique to the individual.
​
I am truly excited to bring this segment of experiences to our outdoor community and to get to focus on the female space. So here's to a season of empowering growth, building our community, and Inspiring all!
​
Thank you for being a part of it.

Sincerely,

Skiing FAQ
What level of skiing/riding ability do I have to be?
Skiers and snowboarders should be an intermediate level of skiing and physical condition to participate in this adventure. Skiers do not need to have any previous backcountry experience. We’ll scale the objectives based on conditions and rider’s ability. This is for people who want to earn their turns and find out what we mean by "best snow on Earth!"
​
How do I know this experience is for me?
If you’re an individual or group (up to 8 people), who wants a full-on adventure in the backcountry, this adventure is for you. The thrill of riding a snowmobile and skinning uphill excites you. You're ready to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life and explore lesser traveled paths with the assistance of guides who know the best spots and hidden secrets. This is a full day, a full adventure, and an insane amount of fun.
​
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
Minimum of 1 person; maximum 8 people.

Is a lift ticket included in the price for the Lift Accessed Ski Touring?
No, you'll need to buy a lift ticket to Park City or Brighton. Brighton offers a single-use lift ticket that gives us access to a wide variety of terrain.
​
Does the Backcountry Mentorship Program replace the need to take an avalanche course?
No, the Backcountry Mentorship Program is not intended to be a stand-in for avalanche education rather a way to further your skills or help introduce you to new skills that go beyond the scope of what can be covered in a course. We work alongside avalanche course providers and are happy to help you sign up for a certified avalanche course before or after our time together.
