Grand Teton National Park sits just a few minutes north of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and is home to some of the most dramatic peaks and ski runs in the United States. The Exum Guides have skied and guided in the Tetons for more than 90 years and we have explored every corner of the park. Exum knows the Teton backcountry better than anyone, and we have access to less traveled areas where untracked powder is common – if there is powder to be found, we’ll find it for you. Whether you are a seasoned backcountry skier who wants to explore deep in the heart of the Tetons, or a skier looking for your first backcountry experience, we’ll provide a day you will not soon forget.
Exum has more AMGA/IFMGA certified guides than any other guide service in the U.S. and with our longtime local knowledge of the Tetons we look forward to providing you with your own personal and custom backcountry experience.
Reservations for the 2024-2025 winter ski season are now open!
At Exum we love skiing. Come have your own private Teton backcountry ski adventure or build your technical knowledge from one our many ski camps or clinics.

I’ve done everything from serious ski mountaineering lines to mellow back-country powder skiing with Exum. They were some of the best days I’ve ever spent in the mountains.

Ski mountaineering and backcountry skiing with Exum gave me the opportunity to reach my ‘Teton potential.’ While improving my skills and expanding my definition of adventure, and those memories and experiences will last a lifetime.

Scholarships available for 2025! Due March 31. Exum’s second annual all-female climb of the Grand Teton in August 2024 was a chance for Dawn Rucker to resolve unfinished business with the mountain from the previous summer’s climb. Read about her inspiring ascent and get scholarship information.
On July 25, 1924, Paul Petzoldt and his buddy Ralph Herron successfully climbed the Grand Teton, only the fourth known party to do so.
Exum Mountain Guides extends heartfelt gratitude to Wyoming PBS for granting us this incredible opportunity to collaborate on a project that delves deep into the rich history of our journey.
