The spring ski camp 2021 marks 5 years of Alpine Air ski camps, this years location has been selected with high adventure value in mind. Always looking for new, remote and high skiable terrain to climb and ski this location is all of those things. The ski camp location is positioned on the Longstaff glacier moraines, standing high above camp are Whitehorn Mtn, Longstaff and Mt Phillips. Ski runs at an average of 1200 m long and steeped in mountaineering history, Mt Robson only a few kms to the South. Among many other big ski runs this area is very remote and seldom visited, this is an opportunity to explore the Canadian Wilderness with the comfort of a base camp.
The ski week will be tent based with a large dome tent for cooking, drying gear and relaxing in, sleeping quarters will be shared (2 per tent) in large 4 person tents. We will be flying in and out of the camp location by helicopter. All the skiing will be done as day trips from the base camp with light packs. The Base camp elevation is at approximately 2000 m with amazing views in all directions! See the Rockies like never before.
This is an annual ski camp which seeks out a new location to offer a true ski adventure to the more remote ares in B.C. It is suitable for intermediate to strong back country skiers looking to explore off the beaten path and still have the comforts of heli access camping.
