Spend a day on an exhilarating backcountry ski experience in the majestic Purcell Mountain Ranges, located just outside Banff National Park.
Want to really get your heart racing? Be taken high into the Rocky Mountains where you can shred pristine powder on vast slopes as well as off the beaten track. Whether you are an intermediate, advanced or expert skier/boarder, you will love the vast virgin slopes surrounded by scenic glaciers and skiing untracked powder on gladed tree runs in the pristine and breathtaking Purcell Mountains.
One day is all you need to create memories to last a lifetime! This is the ultimate Canadian winter skiing experience and all of the ACMG certified guides excel in finding fresh untracked powder in terrain that matches the group’s ability level. Weather and snow condition dependant, you could find yourself on an open glacier run or in perfectly spaced trees.
If you have dreamed of heli-skiing and can comfortably descend blue runs and safely get down a black diamond at your local hill, you’re set! Plus, choose from a variety of powder skis and boards, which make all the difference for first time heli-skiers when skiing/boarding in the deep powder snow. For advanced and expert skiers, these skis will allow you to charge harder and faster.
