Turn up the volume on your Whistler or Squamish trip with a Backcountry tour. By joining a group trip, you gain affordable access to some of the best backcountry touring with an ACMG or IFMGA guide.
All participants are required to read and sign a release of liability waiver prior to their trip.
Our open group backcountry tours are for skiers who have previous touring experience, understand the gear, and are ready to jump into a full day of ski touring. You should have the ski ability to enjoy the terrain we can access; you should be comfortable in powder snow and have some experience in technical sections. If you are comfortable enjoying a powder day at the resort and can get your way down a black/double black diamond run, then you are good to go!

Typical Whistler Backcountry day: 8:00am start - 3 to 5 backcountry runs - 1300m to 2500m of ascent (on skins) - 2000m to 3300m of descent
Typical Squamish Backcountry day: 8:00am start - 2 to 3 backcountry runs - 1300m to 2500m of ascent (on skins) - 1300m to 2500m of descent.
We skied 4 days with Ross Berg who tailored each day to help us find the best skiing and snow each day. Tons of knowledge and a great person to explore the backcountry with. I highly recommend them.
