This tour from Mammoth to June Lake is an ideal introduction to backcountry touring. The skiing is moderate and the scenery is outrageously beautiful. In the summer the Thousand Island Lake and Agnew Pass area is a popular destination, but in winter it is deserted and perhaps even more beautiful than ever.

Enjoy the beauty of the winter solitude amongst the Jeffrey and Ponderosa pine trees surrounded by snow-capped Big Bear, CA Mountains. Our multi-terrain snowshoe tours are customized to each group so you can choose to go easy, go hard or any combination. The beauty of snowshoeing is that there are many trails you can enjoy that are not accessible via snowboarding or skiing, immersing you in the peace and quiet of the Big Bear wilderness. Our snowshoeing tour is fun for all ability levels! We provide your equipment (snowshoes and trekking poles) and training with our experienced guide.
