Description
There are many places to practice backcountry skiing in the world. But few offer as many possibilities as Banff in Alberta, Canada, and within this region, Lake Louise is one of the best destinations for skiers. Join me on this backcountry adventure, and discover one of the most beautiful places in Canada!
This is a customized trip. Starting at 1 day, but extending for 2 or more, depending on your own schedule, we’ll explore one of the best spots for backcountry skiing. I will take you to my favorite spots in the mountain, where you’ll enjoy the best powder riding. You’ll find runs that range from easy to almost vertical!
Banff and Lake Louise are some of the most sought out destinations for skiing in the country. Due to the magnificent mountains, pristine wilderness and snow, they are ideal for this activity.
To reach the best spots, and out of convenience, we’ll use some lifts. Also, depending on your physical condition and what activities you wish to do, we can also tour back.
Some of the places we might visit, depending on the number of days you wish to ski are:
- Purple Bowl
- Pumpkin Bowl
- Wolverine Ridge
- National Geo-graphics
- Corral Paths
- West Bowl
Because this trip involves off-piste skiing, it is important to know the risks, from avalanches to reaching unknown areas. That is why one of my main goals is ensuring you are safe. We will go over all the safety regulations to make sure you have a fun and safe trip.
So let me take you to the best spots for backcountry skiing, while you explore one of the most dazzling places in Canada. Please send me a request, and I’ll make sure your trip in Lake Louise is unforgettable!
Or, if you are looking for a summer adventure, you can also try some rock climbing. Check out this course in Alberta that I also guide!

Ben guided us to Marble Canyon and it was a really awesome and rewarding experience! Ben was really cool and relaxed about everything, the whole process was made extremely simple, and he went so far as to teach us a little more than we had originally expected to learn. We got extremely lucky with the weather and hiked back with blue skies and the sun shining! Thank you very much!!

Great day of touring in the amazing surroundings around Lake Louise - the vue and silky powder snow were worth the effort of climbing!

I had such a great experience skiing backcountry for the first time! Jeff was an amazing guide and really helped us learn how to use backcountry equipment and avalanche gear. My only concern was that we were forced to change the date of our trip quite last minute and we were not given much information about the trip until only 1-2 days in advance. However, the trip itself was incredible! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Absolutely exceeded expectations! Everyone had a great time with more than enough variety to satisfy everyone’s skill level. Would definitely recommend to anyone with an interest in getting started or progressing their ice climbing.

My guide was Christian from the same company (vs Jeff). I was thrilled with the service, friendliness, knowledge, and professionalism. We went to Sunshine Slab near Banff to sport climb for a half day. We managed to get a lot of memorable climbs in a short amount of time. I would gladly use these guys again.

Jeff was so kind to the kids, he encouraged and motivated our 12 y/o eldest, and was tolerant and patient with our 9 y/o young one. Extremely recommended for families. We had much fun on the Banff cliffs.
