About Montana Alpine Guides
Montana Alpine Guides is a premier backcountry guiding service based in Bozeman, offering privately guided adventures across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. With over 25 years of operation in the region, MAG specialises in ice climbing, rock climbing, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering for all skill levels from complete beginners to seasoned alpinists.
Their winter programme centres on backcountry ski touring in coveted zones like Hyalite Canyon, Gallatin Canyon, and Cooke City, plus avalanche education courses accredited by the American Avalanche Association. In warmer months they run guided rock climbs, alpine scrambles, and multi-day mountaineering expeditions on peaks throughout Montana and Wyoming, including trips to Gannett Peak.
What sets MAG apart is their exclusive permit access to Hyalite Canyon — they are the only ski guide service authorised to operate there — and a team of AMGA-certified guides who bring deep local knowledge to every outing. Small group sizes and a safety-first culture have earned them consistently strong reviews from adventurers visiting Bozeman.
