Alpine Touring in the Wasatch
UMA has been skinning the Wasatch since 1993. Touring this accessible, world-class terrain is our passion, and it’s our pleasure as guides and instructors to share it with you. Our backcountry ski and splitboard courses range from Introduction to Backcountry to season-long mentorships to our multi-day backcountry and ski mountaineering camps. Join our friendly, professional guides to accelerate your learning and progress from kick-turns to hop-turns and from splitboard transitions to riding the steeps in the wonderful wild Wasatch.
