Backcountry skiing and splitboarding Karakoram
Skiing in the Karakoram, this coming April 2023 we have a Karakoram ski traverse coming together to ski to Snow Lake and over the Hispar La. This Karakoram ski trip is planned with an extra week in order to make a base camp and ski objectives. The key with ski traverses is making sure you plan enough time into the trip in order to have fun days of skiing outside of the traverse. We are doing that and we hope you will join us. View a video here of ski touring in the Karakoram. We will be going with porters on this ski trip and you will not be expected to haul a sled as they are doing in this video. Also, you shouldn’t expect such dangerous terrain, the purpose of viewing the video is to get a feel for the landscape of the Karakoram.
