Make sure your binding is compatible with ski crampons (an attachment we use when climbing firm snow). Skins should be synthetic, cut specifically for your ski, and with good glue. There are limited rentals available, please enquire at the time of booking if you may need touring rentals.

You’ll need a full splitboard setup with bindings and skins. Skins should be synthetic, cut specifically for your board, and with good glue. Make sure your binding is compatible with splitboard crampons (an attachment we use when climbing firm snow).

Experienced ski tourers and splitboarders welcome. This trip requires previous backcountry touring experience and individuals who are physically up for the challenge and craving for adventure. The volcanic terrain will be varied, steep, and slightly technical. Expect a mix of powder, ice and corn snow.

Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, theft and/or accidental damage while traveling. We recommend World Nomads. Please Note: The "Standard" plan from World Nomads does not cover backcountry skiing or snowboarding, or off-piste travel. The "Explorer" plan has coverage for backcountry skiing and snowboarding and off-piste travel. See more coverage information here: https://www.worldnomads.com/usa/help/insurance/buying-travel-insurance/skiing-snowboarding It is mandatory for all Clients to provide evidence of insurance for ski travel that covers personal accident, medical expenses, and air ambulance (emergency evacuation). If you are joining our Off-Piste or Backcountry trips, you need to make sure your insurance covers off-piste and backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the countries you will be visiting. For trips involving mechanized access in the backcountry (snowcats, snowmobiles, helicopters, etc.) be sure your policy covers these activities. Evidence of this insurance needs to be provided to evo and PowderQuest. In the event evidence of insurance is not provided, evo and PowderQuest reserve the right to cancel the Client’s reservation.
