Yes, prior ski touring experience is highly recommended. The essential requirements for this expedition are:

• Strong off-piste skiing ability.
• Confidence skiing in variable snow conditions
• The capability to ski down steep slopes, either solo or within a group.

Please note: While we provide a climbing guide for the ascent, a dedicated ski guide is not provided for the descent from the summit of Mera Peak back to Base Camp. Therefore, each participant must be a proficient and self-sufficient skier for the downhill sections.
