The Sierra Mountain range features 13 of California’s +14k ft mountains, including Mt Whitney, and receives over 300 days of sun a year with temperatures ranging from 10F to 80F and wind-speeds often over 100mph. This unique combination of sunshine, elevation, extremes in temperature, and wind make it a highly challenging environment for our skin. Utu is the official outdoor skincare partner for Sierra Mountain Guides. Their world class guides are dedicated to connecting people to the mountains. As the premier guide service in the Sierra Mountains and beyond they specialize in ski mountaineering, backcountry skiing and snowboarding, rock climbing, ice climbing, alpine mountaineering, avalanche education, all forms of backpacking, and mountain running.  Utu has partnered with their guides through all seasons to help develop, beta-test and refine our Outdoor Skincare formulations ensuring they deliver unparalleled protection and nourishment to skin when released to the public.  Learn more about their service-oriented, environmentally responsible, and culturally sensitive guides and guide services here: https://sierramtnguides.co
