Freeride skiing is the search for deep and perfect snow as well as the best lines you can wish for. It is skiing/snowboarding in one of the freest expressions: off the groomers. Learning how to freeride ski can occur in many different areas, depending on your comfort zone. We can take you on ungroomed trails within a ski report, ski touring close to town, or far into the backcountry.
Milano Adventure can also take you freeride skiing on various terrains to help you achieve much-desired variations in your skiing portfolio. We can take you tree-skiing through fresh powder woods, skiing down narrow gullies, carving your own path on the glacier, or we can help you face the new challenge of staring down a 1,500m rocky and open face.
Lastly, depending on your desired itinerary, Milano Adventure offers a range of trip durations. You can choose to ski for a single day or for a whole weekend.
