Semana de trekking alrededor de Banff, Montañas Rocosas Canadienses

I have been doing backcountry ski trips with AAA for 3 years now and have been impressed every time. They're very good at adapting the plan to fit the group and have the knowledge to take you into some full-on terrain if that's what you desire. Thanks for pushing my limits and I can't wait for the next one!

My partner Jen and I had 2 days splitboarding in the Lake Louise area with AAA. Jeff and Tamara were both super friendly and easy to get along with as well as extremely professional and knowledgeable. Both days were exactly what we had hoped for and more, and we were able to learn so much from Jeff and Tamara’s expertise on the mountain. We had some of the best runs of our lives and will definitely contact Jeff and AAA when we are next in Banff for more adventures.

The back country awaits! Could be just over that ridge. You’ll never know unless you get a guide to show you! I took a one day peak beyond the well known slopes of Lake Louise with my awesome guide. Someone once told me riding those lines is like flying - and it is totally true! I’ll be back for more.

I had a superb time and Jerry my guide was brilliant with safety being always paramount.

Our guide was Jason (not Jeff) and although he was a great guy, he appeared to not be very familiar with the location in which we skied. I was also surprised by the fact that he never asked us about our skiing abilities or the type of terrain we hoped to ski. Due to the avalanche conditions and snow cover, we were in terrain where the trees were too tight to ski and so we skied down an avalanche path (with minimal hazard from above) that was quite steep with a lot of exposed vegetation and small cliff bands. For two of the three of us, this terrain was at the edge of our comfort zones and so the ski down was not very enjoyable. Afterwards, I couldn't help wondering if we had been asked about our interests and skiing level, if we might have found lower angle terrain with a less dense forest cover. Having said all this, once Jason realized I was in a place I was not happy about, he was very attentive to assisting me through the terrain. In summary, the three of us paid a lot of money for a ski tour that was not great and we wondered whether it should have been cancelled if this was the best terrain to be found given the conditions.
