Description

When it comes to skiing in Canada, the first place most people think of is Whistler. It would be difficult to argue with the assumption because the Whistler area, specifically the Whistler Blackcomb resort area, offers some truly spectacular skiing opportunities.

On this trip, I will be leading you along several different sidecountry routes. This will give you the chance to see a large portion of the Whistler Blackcomb area. And believe me when I tell you, the area is as beautiful as it is exciting, which is probably why it has hosted so many great events, including several events in the 2010 Winter Olympics.

With great size comes great variety. You will get to choose from a long list of different spots: from long traverses like the Spearhead traverse and the Mcbride traverse to some classic descents like DOA and Husume. And if you’re into steeps, you’ll also find your money’s worth at Whistler.

Not many places can actually live up to their lofty reputations. But Whistler does! If you want to experience it for yourself, just send me a request. I will be happy to guide you.

About the guide

Simon

Mountain Guide

I grew up out in Eastern Canada ripping around the small mountains of Quebec and New England. After spending years ski racing and eventually freestyle skiing, I made the pilgrimage out to BC in 2006 and never looked back. My love for the mountains and backcountry grew and sharing this love became my main priority.

My guiding career began in 2010 and I am a fully certified Ski Guide under the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG). I am also a professional member of the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA). Come explore the mountains of British Columbia with me!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
