Expeditions

High Altitude. Pure Lines. Zero Compromise.

Skiing at extreme altitude is not simply mountaineering on skis; it is a discipline of its own. It demands superior endurance, absolute self-reliance, and exceptional technical skiing skills. In the Himalayas, where steep terrain, immense elevation, and limited snow data prevail, only a select few peaks offer true ski potential.

WILD YAK EXPEDITIONS designs and leads elite ski expeditions for accomplished ski mountaineers seeking a rare and uncompromising experience. Peaks such as Putha Himchuli, Mera Peak, and Saribung Peak, while not the most technically complex summits, offer outstanding ski descents in a remote, authentic environment.

Among the fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, Shishapangma stands alone as the only mountain suitable for a ski descent from Camp 3 down to the Depot Camp. At such an altitude, however, excellence is non-negotiable; only skiers with advanced skills and disciplined judgment belong here.

Our ski expeditions follow the same signature service model that defines all WILD YAK EXPEDITIONS journeys:

Ultra Small focused team (4 to 6 members) for clarity, safety, and precise decision-making
Elite, highly experienced local guides with high Himalayan expedition experiences
Advanced safety systems, including professionally paid weather forecast updates and emergency oxygen
Meticulous logistics and route planning, executed to Swiss-level standards
Bespoke expedition design, tailored to skill level, objectives, and conditions

We have successfully organised multiple ski expeditions to Putha Himchuli, Saribung Peak, and Shishapangma. Norbu Sherpa, co-founder of WILD YAK EXPEDITIONS, has personally skied on Saribung Peak and Shishapangma, bringing first-hand expertise to every expedition we lead.

Ski in the Himalayas: the right way
This is not a mass-group expedition. This is a high-commitment ski expedition, designed for skiers who understand that at extreme altitude, preparation, teamwork, leadership, and restraint define success.

Join us on our next Himalayan ski expedition, or contact our team, Norbu Sherpa, to create an entirely bespoke ski adventure aligned with your experience and ambition.

Ultra small teams. Authentic places. Precision at altitude.
