For Guide Operations

Your guests are paying $800 a day. Don't hand them a gas-station granola bar.

Pack-ready fuel your clients notice, photograph, and ask about — curated by a former heli-ski and cat-ski guide who has handed out a lot of bad snacks and knows exactly what they cost an operation.

The Reframe

This isn't a snack line item. It's part of the experience you already sold.

A guest who books a guided day has decided, in advance, to notice everything. The truck, the boot fitting, the safety talk, the terrain, the guide's hands. Every one of those has been thought about.

Then, at 10:30 on a ridge, somebody hands them a granola bar that costs forty cents and looks it.

It's the one touchpoint in a premium day that most operations quietly cheap out on — and it's the one the guest is physically holding, in the cold, in the best light of the day, at exactly the moment they take a photo. That gap between what the day costs and what's in their hand is the whole opportunity.

Fuel that matches what they paid for, at a cost that disappears into a day rate.

Stoked Out is built to close that gap. Clean-label, guide-curated, and packaged for a client's backpack rather than a break room shelf — so the fuel reads like part of the outfit rather than an afterthought someone grabbed at the gas station on the way to the trailhead.

The Pack Bag

A different product, not a smaller box.

The retail box is the wrong object for a guided day. It's rigid, it's bulky, it doesn't fit in a pack lid, and it leaves a guest carrying cardboard around a mountain. So the guide-op format is its own thing — and what goes in it is your call, not ours.

Pack Bag — How It Works
Format
Soft, flat-profile pouch. Slides into a pack lid, a chest pocket, or a jacket without a corner digging into anyone.
Contents
Built to your spec. Tell us the mix — heavier on protein for a long tour, more quick carbs for lift-served laps, extra electrolyte in spring — and we build to it. If you'd rather not think about it, we keep two defaults that work: a lighter half-day pack and a fuller full-day pack.
Add-ons
Optional non-food items on request — lip balm, mineral sunscreen, a hand warmer, a trail map. Useful on a guest-facing day and cheap to include.
Cold behavior
Items selected so nothing turns into a brick. A bar a guest can't bite in a cold wind is not fuel.
Pack-out
Compresses flat when empty. Nothing rigid to carry down, nothing that blows off a ridge.
Labeling
Allergen and dietary flags on the outside, so it lines up with the intake forms you already collect. Gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free builds available.
Branding
Your logo on the bag at volume. Co-brand or full private label.
Operator Economics

We know what a seat on that trip actually costs you.

Bass has been a mechanized ski guide and a ski touring guide. He's done the math on fuel, on guide ratios, and on what happens to a group's afternoon when someone bonks at 1pm and the whole day slows down.

A pack bag lands as a rounding error against a day rate, and it buys back three things at once: a guest who stays fueled through the last lap, a differentiator you can put directly in the trip description, and one less thing your guides are carrying for other people.

Why It's Worth Including

What the operator gets out of it.

A line in the trip description

"Guide-curated clean fuel included" is a concrete, checkable differentiator against the operation down the road quoting the same terrain at the same price. It costs you almost nothing and it's specific, which is more than most inclusions manage.

Something guests photograph

The mid-morning stop is when the phones come out. A branded bag in that photo travels further than any ad you'd buy — and it goes out to exactly the audience who can afford your day rate.

Guests stop bringing garbage

Left to their own devices, clients pack whatever was at the airport. Then they crash. Supplying the fuel means you control the variable that quietly ruins afternoons — and your guides stop carrying spares for six other people.

More Ways Ops Use It

Beyond the day trip.

Private label

Your mark, your bag, our curation and sourcing. For operations big enough that the fuel should carry your name, not ours.

Per-season bulk

Buy the season up front at the best rate, drawn down as you run trips. One PO, one price, no mid-winter reordering.

Hut & yurt provisioning

Multi-day trips need shelf-stable fuel that survives a sled haul and a week in an unheated cache. Configured per night, per guest.

Post-trip leave-behind

A full box in the guest's bag on the way to the airport. The trip ends; the reminder to rebook doesn't.

Dietary-flagged variants

Gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free builds so the intake form you already collect actually connects to what gets handed out.

Guide staff kits

Secondary, but real: your guides are out there longer than anyone. Bulk restock format, priced like the resort shack program.

Pricing

Priced per guest-day. Quoted per season.

Guide operations don't buy like resorts do — volume moves with bookings, not headcount. These tiers are the same underlying structure, framed the way a guide op actually plans a winter.

Trailhead
A trial block of trips
  • Single order, no commitment
  • Standard Pack Bag configuration
  • Enough for a few trips to see how guests react
Summit
Private label, multi-season
  • Full private label or co-brand
  • Best available volume pricing
  • Hut-trip and leave-behind configurations
  • Dedicated point of contact
How It Works

Three steps, start to first trip.

01

Inquire

Tell us guest-days per season and what kind of trips. That's enough to quote it.

02

Sample

We send Pack Bags to run on a real trip. Your guides and your guests decide, not a spec sheet.

03

Order

We lock season pricing and delivery, and restock against your booking calendar.
