WHISTLER BACKCOUNTRY SKI & SPLITBOARDING

Join one of Whistler's leading backcountry providers and enjoy awesome backcountry skiing and splitboarding around the Whistler Blackcomb ski area. The big-mountain backcountry outside of the ski area offers a multitude of bowls, glaciers and gladed runs to choose from.

• Avalanche safety equipment is not included (transceiver, shovel, probe)
• Touring skis/splitboard required.
• If you are heading into the backcountry for the first time, we suggest taking either our Introduction to Backcountry Course or our Foundation Backcountry Tour
• Participants must be comfortable and confident in terrain equivalent to a blue run in deep powder conditions. If you are unsure of your ability, please contact us for more information.
• Groups can expect 3 – 5 runs and up to 5,000 ft of vertical descent for the day, depending on ability and fitness level
