The Art of Backcountry Ski Traverses

Traverses are a cornerstone of backcountry ski touring culture. For millennia, skis have served as a vital means of transportation for cold-climate communities, and today we continue to embrace their beauty and practicality.

A traverse involves starting your tour at point A and finishing several kilometers away at point B, with access via road or helicopter. These journeys offer fantastic adventures, allowing you to explore new terrain and mountains each day.

Please note that traverses are designed for intermediate to advanced backcountry skiers, as they often require carrying a heavy pack and navigating variable snow conditions and glaciated terrain. Join us for an unforgettable experience that challenges your skills and rewards you with stunning vistas!

Here are some classic traverses we offer:

• Wapta traverse (Banff NP)

• Spearhead traverse (Whistler, BC)

• Bugaboos to Rogers Pass (Golden,BC)
