Kootenay Backcountry Skiing

Base miles never looked so good!

These camps are small group formats: Six clients, One ACMG certified ski guide and Svein Tuft, Professional Cyclist and Endurance Coach. Similar to a backcountry lodge trip, these backcountry training camps will be an immersive experience where you’ll be able to soak up personalized tips and enjoy some incredible backcountry skiing.

We’ll be serving up some of our favourite backcountry powder skiing in the Kootenays for these camps. The beauty of the Tuft’s Refugio is that it is perfectly positioned for quick access to:

Nelson / Whitewater Backcountry

Kootenay Pass

As well as some of Svein’s secret stashes!
