Two-Day Classic
Explore the best of British Columbia's legendary backcountry with Revelstoke Guide's signature Two-Day ski Classic. This private, ACMG guided experience is custom-tailored to your group’s goals and riding style. Over two consecutive days, you’ll explore the diverse terrain of both the Revelstoke Backcountry and Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park. This trip is designed for up to four advanced riders in above-average physical condition, ready to climb up to 3.5 hours throughout the day. Previous touring experience is recommended.
$2,750 CAD (incl. tax)
Three-Day Classic + Heli-Drop
Our Three-Day Classic offers the ultimate backcountry experience—two days of human-powered ski touring in Revelstoke and Rogers Pass, followed by a heli-assisted day in our private tenure. We use helicopters as an access tool, not a chairlift. Groups are dropped at a high alpine landing and spend the day skiing everything from old-growth trees and pillow lines to wide-open alpine terrain. The helicopter returns at the end of the day for pickup.
$6,825 CAD (incl. tax)
