This is for advanced skiers with multi-day winter camping experience. Three long days with extensive multiple climbs and descents. The Spearhead Traverse is definitely world class. Jason Budd is a professional guide always adapting to the group, weather and snow conditions. He initiated key adaptions at steep transitions and introduced equipment adjustments to suit both skiers and split-boarders in location specific situations. He also did individual specific training to help balance out the groups capability. Can't say it was easy, but I definitely will not forget it!

Enjoy awesome backcountry skiing or splitboarding near the Whistler Blackcomb ski area with the safety of a professional, local guide. Start the morning on the gondola to access the backcountry, then leave those lift lines behind. Fresh powder and gorgeous views are within your reach! This is a must-do activity on your Whistler winter vacation!

Company was great! The instructor was very knowledgeable and took the time to help everyone. Definitely would take another course with them.

What a fabulous mountain and experience. The Canadian folks are very nice and the skiing is some of the best in the world.

I did an avalanche refresher course with Elodie. She was so passionate, fun, and informative, and even followed up with additional resources by email. It's wonderful to learn from someone who is so keen and excited. Thank you!

Elodie and Ollie were great, experienced and fun teachers for AST1. They were able to easily explain how to apply the principles of safe travel in the backcountry to real examples and take us on a great day two in the snow.
