Hut-to-Hut Ski Touring on the Bow-Yoho Traverse
Top three reasons to ski across the Bow-Yoho Traverse
-
Conquer British Columbia’s once inaccessible peaks
-
Spend your nights in cozy and modern huts of the Candian Rockies
-
Try storm skiing, one of the most breathtaking experiences you can have in the backcountry
The stunning Bow-Yoho traverse, running from Bow Lake to the Yoho Valley, has lived in the shadow of its neighbor—the famous Wapta Traverse—for years. However, it has recently started catching up to the competition, thanks in great part to the addition of the Richard and Louise Guy Hut, by far the most deluxe hut in the area. Some of British Columbia’s most scenic peaks—which were previously reachable only through days of walking or high camping—are now more accessible than ever before! The Yoho and des Poilus glaciers abound with ski traversal and powder hunting opportunities, and the cozy huts add a level of sophistication and comfiness to the rough Canadian backcountry. You even get the opportunity to ski in a storm—what’s not to love!
