Spring skiing under the midnight sun in Lofoten, Norway with The Sharp End
Backcountry Lodge Trips

British Columbia is blessed with dozens of very comfortable, fully serviced and exclusive backcountry ski touring lodges, offering reliable deep snow conditions, nestled in prime remote alpine terrain. These lodges provide an outstanding base for week-long high-quality ski touring and ski mountaineering experiences. Most of them offer a range of fantastic tree skiing and high alpine terrain suitable for various groups needs.

Unfortunately due to the implications of COVID-19 on travel we have decided to not run any Backcountry Lodge trips for Winter 2020.

Ski and Sail

A unique ski touring expedition in the rugged mountains of the Svalbard/Spitsbergen archipelago in the arctic ocean. Located at 79º latitude & north of Norway, this area provides an amazing opportunity to discover a remote alpine range, arctic wildlife, glaciated peaks and world class skiing.

Due to international travel restrictions due to COVID-19 we are unable to offer out any Ski and Sail programs in Winter 2020.

Icefield Expeditions
This remote, tent based, ski mountaineering trip is ideal for those looking at attempting high elevation ski peaks far from the crowds. The focus of this fly-in trip is on skiing high quality descents in big terrain with a lighter day pack from a well located basecamp.
