Product Description

Powder Warrior, February 9-12th 2018

Over 4 days we will explore 4 different locations in the Lake Louise and Rogers Pass areas. Day 1 we will meet in Lake Louise and do a tour in the nearby mountains then head to Golden BC for day 2 and 3 to ski in the epic Rogers Pass area. On the 4th day we will make our way back east and spend a day on the Continental Divide skiing some of the greatest terrain on earth. If you are a Powder Warrior looking for some epic descents this long weekend is for you, a great trip for intermediate-strong backcountry skiers. The group will adjust location accordingly depending on conditions.

AAA is a full service guiding company, employing ACMG/IFMGA guides who are certified to work in any terrain or discipline.
