Ride world-class untouched powder and summit the Cariboos’ scenic peaks
-
Helicopter transportation allows fast and smooth access to the remote backcountry
The Cariboo Mountains’ rolling landscapes, frozen lakes, and open blue skies are a joy to the senses! While the wintertime temperatures are hard to bear, the spring brings perfect skiing conditions: the days are long, the snowpack is deep, avalanche conditions are excellent and, most importantly, the untouched powder is begging to be ridden. Experienced backcountry adventurers will be in heaven here, as the routes are extended and untracked, and the feeling of wilderness and serenity is unmatched. Also, there’s no shortage of world-class summit opportunities here, and having a helicopter in your arsenal allows you to hit some truly remote slopes. For a pure and pristine backcountry experience, look no further than the Cariboos!

Itinerary
Once you meet your guides at the staging area, a helicopter will fly you to your camp location. After you set up your base camp next to a scenic lake at a 6500ft/1980m altitude, your adventure in the Premier Range of the Cariboo Mountains can begin! You’ll be rising early in the morning to take advantage of the good travel conditions. Spend the first half of your day with your guide, finding the best skiing possible, exploring glaciated terrain, and even taking down a summit or two! In the afternoon, when it gets warm, you’ll be lounging in the sun enjoying drinks and appetizers and reminiscing on the day’s adventure. And when night falls, retreat to your large 4-person tent and enjoy the remote and solemn atmosphere before falling asleep!
