If you haven’t tried skiing with a guide before, but you love to ski powder, this is for you. Why not treat yourself or a group of friends to a day of carefree powder skiing? Whistler Blackcomb backcountry has some of the finest and most easily accessed terrain there is. Our guides love to ski, and enjoy sharing the endless options that come with open powder fields, lightly treed glades, and vast alpine bowls and shoots. If it's storming, we are skiing glades while the powder falls, and if the sun is out we may be sampling a perfect alpine bowl. We keep the group small for a more personal feel.

If you have the flexibility and want to hedge your bets, mid week is the way to go. Powder is a commodity that is in high demand on the weekend, whereas during the week it can sit unskied for days as it slowly settles - what a shame!
Join a group
Once you have selected your preferred day - either Monday, Friday or Saturday - your guide will contact you for a pre-trip conversation. You will then be teamed up with other similarly-skilled clients. Use your own ski touring equipment and avalanche safety equipment, or rent some of ours.
Book a private group
You can book a private trip for any day of the week, and for any skill level. A minimum of two persons is required for a private booking at $250/person. Click on the "Book Now" button for a full price list. Use your own ski touring equipment and avalanche safety equipment, or rent some of ours.
Poor Ski Quality Rescheduling Guarantee
You're here to ski powder and we don’t like to disappoint. If your guide determines that conditions are not up to snuff, you will be offered the choice to reschedule your day at no cost. That’s our powder promise to you!
Avalanche Rescue Practice prior to your powder day
As part of our risk management program, and typically at the start of each tour before heading into the back country, you will participate in an avalanche rescue training refresher session. You now also have the option to do this on a day or evening in advance of your tour, at no extra cost, which allows the group to head straight out into the backcountry and maximize powder ski time on the day of the tour. The Avalanche training refresher is offered throughout the season at various locations and times. Please visit the "Avalanche Rescue Training - Tune Up" product or click here for more information.
If you are joining an open group, you need to be a competent powder skier and have previous backcountry experience.This is not for beginners - it’s about maximizing powder turns and seeing new mountain terrain in a stress free, fun environment.
If you are booking a private tour we can cater to any skill level, from first time backcountry skiers or boarders, to the experts who want to ski couloirs and steeps in the alpine. Let us curate your ultimate backcountry experience.
