“My daughter and I spent a fantastic morning with Gregg in the Chugach Mountains above Anchorage. It was a crisp, sunny day and the scenery was spectacular. Gregg was an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide who was attuned to our interests and ability levels, and we both enjoyed talking with him as we tromped through the snow in this beautiful setting. He had a very relaxed, easygoing style and we both felt comfortable with him almost immediately. It was clear that he loved what he was doing and enjoyed sharing it with others. He made a point of taking pictures of us together, despite the fact that his hands must…”

“This was a must-see experience! The hike is a bit long, but the ice cave was worth it! Our guide, Matthew, was wonderful. Always checking in on us and making sure we were ok or asking if we needed anything. He even helped take pictures of us, so our entire family was in one photo. He knew the areas of the ice cave to avoid in order to stay safe and advised us of this before heading in. We loved it!”

Spend four relaxed hours skiing in Grand Teton National Park with a trained Nordic instructor and naturalist guide. Tyler, Bo, and Laura have led outings featuring wildlife, mountain views, winter ecology, and patient coaching. Equipment costs extra, and the route changes with weather.
“What a fabulous morning! I signed up alone for the 4 hour cross country ski excursion and it turned out to be myself and one other person with our tour guide Bo. We quickly got underway and had an interesting conversation about Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton National Park, and what wildlife we might encounter. Bo is very personable and knowledgeable. The tour was as described and Bo is clearly well suited, both personality and skill-wise, to lead a variety of tours. We saw elk, moose and even a porcupine up in a tree! It’s a shame that our view of the mountains was mostly obscured by the weather conditions,…”

“This company made the ski rental process quick and easy. There were 5 of us ranging in age from 5 to 73. Their equipment is great and their customer service is outstanding. Chloe was so patient when she came to our condo to fit us all. Kiki was understanding when one set of skis was returned early and Kasey was so helpful in arranging a boot exchange. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend this company.”

“Black Tie ski rentals always "delivers." From the beginning of the ski holiday to the end, they bring quality equipment, they respond and follow up and they are always thoughtful and kind. This past week in Park City was no exception. I purchased new boots in the middle of my ski trip, so I needed Black Tie to adjust my bindings. During the adjustment James asked me if I was satisfied with my skies. I remarked that I didn't like them as much as a previous experience. He asked if I wanted to change back to the skis I prefer. In an act of forward thinking that is over and…”
