Backcountry Ski Trips

Curated backcountry skiing / splitboarding adventures.

There’s a reason why we’ve chosen British Columbia, Canada as our operational base—it has the best skiing in the world. Our backcountry ski trips provide clients with a curated backcountry experience immersed in deep powder and mountains.

Let us show you Powder Highway destinations like Golden, Revelstoke, Rogers Pass, Nelson or the Valhallas. We love to deliver incredible backcountry skiing and splitboarding.

We also enjoy skiing other places too, such as, Whistler, Pemberton, Norway, South America and around the word.

Our guides are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, the gold standard for guiding in Canada. We take pride in creating a fun, safe and adventurous experience for our guests.
