There is a place where crowds do not exist, where
the masses don’t go, where the snow is deep,
light and fluffy, and where there are open powder
bowls and widely spaced trees. We are going to
take you to this mystical place and you are not
going to pay thousands of dollars for a helicopter.

Trip Description
Join us on a one of a kind tour which combines
great skiing with great learning. This tour is
for those with limited or no backcountry experience
who would like to learn more about the backcountry
and have some great skiing. Over the week we will
teach you all of the basics from trip planning
to avalanche safety to emergency winter shelters.
As all of our week long tours we start this one
in Calgary, Alberta. From there we go into Kananaskis
County 1 hour west of Calgary for a day at Black
Prince Ski area, a local favourite. We spend the
second night in Canmore. Depending on snow conditions
we then ski the next day at either Bow Summit
or back into Kananaskis country. We then head
to the skiing hotspot of Golden, BC where we base
ourselves for the following four days. We explore
the amazing terrain and skiing in the backcountry
bowls adjacent to Kicking Horse Resort. Depending
on avalanche and weather conditions we may also
go deep into the heart of the Selkirk mountains
and ski tour at the world famous Roger’s
Pass. All participants on this tour receive their
recreational avalanche course certification.
In Calgary and Canmore we stay in extremely comfortable
places complete with a spa. In Golden to reward
ourselves after a long day we stay in gorgeously
comfortable B&B’s which always have
a hot tub and delightful hosts.
Disclaimer: Due to varying avalanche
and weather conditions we are not able to guarantee
the amount of time spent in the backcountry. Safety
is our number one priority at Canadian Powder
Skiing Adventures. Having said that trips are
booked at the optimal time of year for backcountry
adventure, and the chances are if we cannot go
into the backcountry because of unstable snow
conditions the skiing inside the resort boundaries
is fantastic. The itinerary is subject to slight
changes due to weather and backcountry conditions.
