**Join me in this incredible adventure at Bow Yoho in the Canadian Rockies!**

During this 5-day ski traverse we will cross the famous **Wapta Ice field** and **Yoho glaciers**, that divide Alberta and British Columbia in the Canadian Rockies. It is a unique option to discover the impressive Wapta ice field.

I particularly recommend this program because it is one of the easiest ways to access some of the most remote spots in the Rockies. Furthermore, it is comfortable because we'll sleep in huts, so you'll only need to carry a day pack. This is a great advantage compared to most tours in the region that require tents.

This tour will start by travelling to **Bow Lake**. Then, we'll be skiing for 5 days. It is a big circle with majestic views.

We'll be very close to the town of Field and Emerald Lake, and also close to Lake Louise.

The best season to visit this area is spring, because days are longer and there's less risk of avalanches.

This program is available for intermediate and advanced skiers with some ski touring experience and good physical condition.

Both mountain hut, Bow Hut and Stanley Mitchell Hut, are from the Alpine Club of Canada.

**Contact me if you want to join me for this amazing ski traverse in the Canadian Rockies. I'll be glad to guide you in this trip!**

**You can also take a look at other trips I organize in my country, like** [](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/whitehorn-ski-tour-week-canada/)**a** [**ski touring trip to Revelstoke / Rogers Pass**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/revelstoke-rogers-pass-ski-touring/)**.**

First, we’ll meet in **Lake Louise** at the **Alpine Center**, get organized and go to **Bow Lake** to start the adventure.

Afterwards, we’ll go through a 1 hour avalanche rescue exercise.

Over the next 3-4 hours we will ascend up to **Bow Hut** for the first night.

Lake Louise / Bow Hut

We’ll wake up early and ski across the **Wapta Ice field** to the **Yoho Glacier** and the high lands of **Mt Collie**.

This leads us to a great ski run down to the D**es Poilus glacier** and down to the **Des Poilus Hut.**

Ski day

We will ascend the **Isolated Col** and enjoy an excellent ski descent to the Stanley Mitchel Hut.

You’ll have the opportunity to ski **Mt Mc Aurther** (3015 m), and incredible glaciated ski descents.

We will spend this day skiing along the **Little Yoho Valley** with great and important ski mountaineering objectives, close to the Presidents (3140 m).

During the last day, we will make our way along the Ice line trail traversing the full length of the Presidents and head into Yoho Pass which, finally,  takes us to **Emerald Lake** which will mark the end of a great adventure!

**We'll enjoy a rock climbing trip in one of the most famous areas in Canada. The Bugaboos are a mountain range of the Purcell Mountains, in British Columbia.**

I really like this area because the climbing quality is great due to good granite rock. The place offers many options for intermediate climbers and also for more professional climbers. Alpine snow and ice, moderate multi-pitch rock routes and big walls, are some of the possibilities.

We will start hiking in the **Bugaboos Provincial Park** towards **Conrad Kain Hut.** This hut is maintained by the Alpine Club of Canada. We can also go to **Apple Bee** alpine campsite.

**Please get in touch with me if you want more information about this trip. It will be my pleasure to guide you around and enjoy some great rock climbing in these mountains I know well and love.**

Three days of Deep December Powder, what a great Christmas present! Rogers Pass is renowned for its huge snowfall and cold deep powder skiing and in late December it can be waist-deep! Based out of Golden B.C. This is an ideal trip for intermediate to strong skiers who like to ski a lot!

Rogers Pass is located just east of Revelstoke. It is a truly epic location for ski and snowboard touring. In fact, it has quick access to a variety of terrain which works for all abilities and weather conditions.

Rogers Pass is a top spot in North America to powder ski. Also, the access is very quick so it is easy to get there. Besides, the ski runs are long, rendering the descents amazing. The amazing powder and snowfalls in this area have made Roger Pass famous among winter sports enthusiasts.

Plan to meet the group in Golden at the Kicking Horse River Lodge on the morning of December 26th, the group will sign waivers then head out to the pass.

There will be a companion rescue training exercise to review the use and procedures of the avalanche gear then head out for the day.

We can accommodate first-time backcountry skiers with intermediate ski skills on this trip as we don't want them to miss out on the Deep December Powder skiing!

**Contact me and let's start planning your ski trip in Canada!** And another place where I love taking my clients backcountry skiing [**around Lake Louise**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/backcountry-riding-in-lake-louise-area/).

If you are looking for some of the most classic alpine climbs in the Canadian Rockies, I have the perfect trip for you. It will be **3 days to climb Mounts Victoria (3464 m) and Lefroy (3423 m),** two beautiful mountains.

During these days, we will be based in the **Abbot Pass Mountain Hut**, in **Banff National Park**. It’s the birth place of alpinism and guiding in Canada. On the first day, we will start from Lake O’Hara and make our way up to the historical hut. We will spend 2 nights there.

The Hut and the Pass were named after Phillip Abbott, who fell from Mount Lefroy in 1896. The hut was built at the pass to facilitate safer ascents of Mounts Lefroy and Victoria.

On the second day, we will be up very early to attempt Mt. Lefroy (3423 m). The peak lies on the eastern side of Abbot Pass.

Then, on the third day we will ascend the South East ridge of Mt. Victoria (3464 m). It lies on the western side of the pass, on the border between Banff and Yoho National Parks. Also, if conditions allow, we will have the possibility of ascending a third peak, Mt. Huber (3370 m), along our descent back to Lake O’Hara.

**So, contact me if you want to join me on this great climbing trip! You can send me a request and we can start planning this adventure right away.**

This resort is 360 km away from Smithers and offers the **comforts of a first class hotel with a rustic touch of the Canadian wild.** A maximum of 35 skiers stay here each week.

Then you will meet the helicopter pilot and recieve a helicopter safety briefing. The first groups generally leave at around 09.15 am every morning.
