This 4-day Rogers Pass ski touring trip is ideal for anyone from intermediate to advanced skiers and splitboarders.

There will be two guides on the trip, so there can be two different groups tackling different objectives—or you can go out as a group with the option of different length days. Your guides will help you improve your skills and coach when things get a bit more difficult.

You’ll want to be reasonably fit and able to travel between 6 and 8 hours a day, and you also need to have some backcountry touring experience. No formal avalanche training is necessary, but it is an asset.

To participate in this tour, you need to have previous backcountry skiing experience.

If you’ve never backcountry skied before and are looking to try it out in British Columbia, we recommend a day of backcountry skiing in Duffey Lake, backcountry skiing in Whistler, or backcountry skiing in Revelstoke.

Liability waivers are a standard part of all guided outdoor adventures. Recently, the requirements have become a bit more rigorous for ACMG guides—meaning that you’ll need to agree to the signing of the waiver at the time of booking.

Prior to booking, we ask you to review the waiver. During the checkout process, you’ll have to acknowledge the risks and agree to the signing of the waiver. You are required to bring a printed copy on the trip.

You can rent alpine touring or telemark skis (or splitboard) touring boots, and poles in Revelstoke with Powder Rentals or The Wax Bench. As an outdoor hub, there’s a multitude of rental shops in Revelstoke to choose from.

Rentals should be picked up the night prior to your outing. If you need to rent gear, let us know and we can help make arrangements.

You’ll stay in one of the best situated huts in the whole of North America. Staying there means supreme backcountry access, with the Asulkan Valley and the nearby offering spectacular skiing opportunities.

Built in the pan-abode style (meaning that the focus is on the wood adjusting to its environment and settling into its new shape), this hut is a beautiful timber-frame building with large north-facing windows. It sleeps 10 people, and the common area is cozy and spacious.

Foam mattresses, cooking, and eating utensils are provided, meaning that guests are expected to bring their own sleeping bags, food, and personal items. You’ll have a cooking stove, lightning, and heat, all of which are supplied by propane.

Ski touring in Rogers Pass can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

Min. age requirements:

• • If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.

To get to Revelstoke, the starting point of your Rogers Pass ski touring adventure, most people fly into Kelowna International Airport (YLW). From there, you can rent a car or take a shuttle service to Revelstoke. It will take you around 2.5 hours to reach Revelstoke. Another option is Calgary International Airport (YYC), though there is no shuttle service, so you’d have to rent a car and it would take you 4.5 hours.

Make sure to arrive in Revelstoke at least a day prior to the tour, as you’re meeting your guide and your group at 7:30 am.

Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet, whether that’s at the guide shop or a predetermined location.
