Beyond the Lifts

Leave the lift lines behind this winter on one of our professionally guided backcountry ski day tours! Enjoy awesome powder skiing and snowboarding in the backcountry surrounding the Whistler Blackcomb ski area. Lift access, skins, specialized ski touring bindings for skiers, and splitboards for snowboarders are used to access the backcountry.

The big mountain backcountry outside the Whistler Blackcomb ski area offers a multitude of bowls, glaciers and gladed runs to choose from. Conditions are almost always favorable with lots of powder to ensure great turns for all.

Your experienced ski guide will provide instruction on backcountry equipment usage and lead you down some memorable ski descents. Intimate group sizes provide individual attention and a day at the right pace.

Geared for intermediate, advanced and expert skiers or snowboarder. Participants must be comfortable and confident in intermediate terrain [blue runs] in variety of snow conditions. Skiers, telemarkers and snowboarders welcome.

If you are unsure of your ability please contact us for more information.

Groups can expect 3 – 5 runs and up to 5,000ft of vertical descent for the day depending on ability and fitness level. It's a must-try experience on your next Whistler trip.
