Description

Discover the untracked white-blanket snow of Canada’s best backcountry snowboarding region as I guide you across the stunning slopes.

The town of Whistler offers a wide variety of terrain. In 2012 it hosted the Winter Olympic games, further cementing its international reputation.

Located in the British Columbia province, 125 kilometres north of Vancouver, the popular snowboarding destination is home to the famous Whistler Blackcomb ski resort.

It features the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, the world’s highest cable car, and travels 4.4 kilometres in 11 minutes. From here it offers stunning panoramas of mountain peaks, lakes, glaciers, and the bustling village below.

The cable car connects the important mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb, which have hosted numerous important alpine events.

During the snowboarding day we will enjoy the best tree snowboarding with deep powder snow, over glaciers and up summits in this stunning section of British Columbia.

Because of the wide variety of slopes available the area is open to everyone. So our program can be adopted to fit your level of ability and experience.

Reserve your place now for an incredible day snowboarding down Canada’s king of quality slopes in the resorts of Whistler and Blackcomb.

Mountain Guide

Based in the Coast Range, near Vancouver, BC, I offer custom private ski touring adventures for any size of group. I can craft an experience suitable for your experience levels and goals. From single day introductory tours in the Whistler/Blackcomb backcountry, to multi-day tent-based traverses, to heli accessed ski mountaineering base camps, let me create the trip of a lifetime for you!

I have guided extensively throughout the mountain ranges of British Columbia and Alberta, for numerous heli, snowcat and ski touring operations.

I also work closely with a number of backcountry ski touring lodges across BC, including Whitecap Alpine. I can facilitate your lodge-based trip, including scheduling, logistics, transport, food and guiding (of course). There’s really nothing quite like a lodge ski trip with your closest friends, a great chef and plenty of powder to ski.

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.
