Itinerary

Whistler Blackcomb offers more choices than nearly any other mountain destination in the world. With a combination of thrilling descents and exquisite scenery, it’s time to turn your dreams into reality…

Some of the finest backcountry ski terrain in Southwestern BC lies east of Pemberton where Highway 99 climbs through the Cayoosh Range and runs past Duffey Lake. The highway gives easy access to numerous avalanche paths, open ridges, meadows, glaciers, and attractive alpine basins that offer superb mid-winter backcountry skiing. Ski trips start at higher elevations from the paved highway and range from sleuthing for powder near the road to high-alpine ski ascents. Many descents offer long rewarding runs of up to 1,200m. Most trips are one or two days.

(Keep in mind the weather has the last word – we will plan according to conditions and overall forecast)
