Highlights

  • Ski along the wild and incredible Coast Mountains of Canada.
  • Head deeper into the remote mountainside and experience its isolation.
  • Witness the stunning slopes of he backcountry as we pass lakes and glaciers.

Description

Experience the best skiing runs in the magnificent Garibaldi Park that are hidden from most skiers.

We’ll head towards the heart of the Spearheads, the arc-shaped range that links the mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb. The nearby mountains of Trorey, Pattison and Decker offer great untracked terrain to ascend and descend.

Heading towards the high mountain passes, we’ll cross glaciers, lakes and spectacular high ridges.

Sections of the range present good challenges for us, with steep descents into the Diavolo Glacier before climbing back up and over the Overlord Mountain, the highest peak of the Fitzsimmons Range. With a speedy descent we’ll ski out to Singing Pass, home to stunning views of the mountain ranges of Fitzsimmons and Spearhead.

Our projection leads us to our final destination of Whistler, one of the largest ski resorts in North America, and home to the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Potential participants on the 3-day ski tour must be comfortable skiing in any snow conditions. While there is no very steep nor technical slopes on the tour, the conditions will be un-groomed and thus unstable.

It’s important to remember that due to a number of variables (weather, route conditions, group level) the final itinerary for the 3 days may be adjusted. 

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the incredible Canadian mountains on an actioned-packed 3-day ski tour traverse.

We actually had a different guide (Les) but couldnt have been more impressed. He was super knowledgeable and helpful. Very patient and his timing for our day was excellent. Whistler is of course beautiful and it was a wonderful introduction to the back country.
