Description
Ski the accessible wilderness around Lake Duffey in the stunning scenery of western Canada! Enjoy a multi-day program exploring the lakes, peaks, and meadows of the Coast Mountains while ski touring through rewarding and satisfying terrain!
Head northeast past Whistler and Pemberton to the enchanting region surrounding Duffey Lake, including the Duffy Lake Provincial Park. Tucked deep into the heart of British Columbia, this area has some high profile peaks with road access, making a ski trip seamless and exhilarating. The Coast Mountains possess the light, dry powder that has made Canada, from the Rockies west to the Pacific Ocean, a premiere skiing destination.
Your ski touring program takes advantage of the immaculate landscape of Duffey Lake. It has an array of possible areas to discover, from Matier and Spetch to Cayoosh and Burnt Ridge. The skiable area is seemingly endless. There are abundant lines in the nearby Rohr area, giving us ample opportunity to cover all the most desirable places in the Coast.
There are tons of objectives, all with unique features like glaciated terrain, long runs, and steep couloirs. The choice is yours, with the option of extending your trip to a few days or more. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the reason, this is one of the best ways to ski the amazing snowpack and experience the unique wilderness of Canada.
I am always in search of the best powder in the area and sharing it with fellow skiers. Our goal is to find the best runs in the area while having a fun, safe, and fulfilling ski touring adventure. You should have an intermediate skill level to participate in the program, with the mental fortitude of a sustained ski trip to match.
Stop waiting and start BOOKING your Duffey Lake ski touring program for a rare chance to ski the pristine powder of the Coast Mountains in one of the most accessible and delightful backcountries in Canada!
There is also a multi-day program ski touring around the backcountry of Whistler for any powder hounds who want to take on the world-class icon of British Columbia!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
