Join us in Hunza, Pakistan this coming Spring to ski and snowboard first descents with ski guide Luke Smithwick

Hunza has it all for all intermediate and higher levels of backcountry skiers and snowboarders. We choose the Spring season for ease of access to base camps with horses (and porters), and for snow stability and great variety of choice in ski objectives.

SETUP

What sets us apart is our groups. We are small.  Guide ratios are 3 skiers to 1 ski guide. This enables us to cater each day for the group ability, interest, and experience. We will make this trip “your” experience.
