Ogden, Utah 2018 - Resort/Backcountry Trip "The Custom Built March Session"

March 8-26, 2018

Vertical Integration was born and built in Ogden, Utah, and the Ogden Wasatch Mountains are our backyard. In this Custom March Session V.I. will plan out your Ogden trip for you with a variety of options to choose from for your stay. Pick your dates, pick your options, and V.I. will handle the leg work. From a car-less trip with a downtown stay in Ogden City, to a quieter retreat with your own vehicle up into the Ogden Valley. The once sleepy Ogden after the historical railroad boom days has since woken up to the buzz of the Outdoor Industry moving to Ogden with companies like Salomon, Osprey, Atomic, Arcteryx, and Suunto all coming to town. The word is out that the Ogden Wasatch Mountains are a destination all their own. Come straight to Ogden for Utah's Greatest Snow on Earth. Snowbasin is world-class, and Powder Mountain is down-to-earth for two distinct resort flavors. Also, a tour in the Ogden backcountry is a classic and relatively quiet Wasatch Mountains experience. No one does it better, and we can build your group a packaged program to do Ogden right.
