Garibaldi Provincial Park Spearhead Traverse

Winter 2021/22

Ski the famous traverse from Blackcomb to Whistler.

This route is unquestionably the most well known and well traveled traverse on the west coast of North America. Lift access on Blackcomb delivers us into the alpine and the route stays well above the trees until the last day. The route winds its way over 12 glaciers and 14 major peaks finishing by going over the Musical Bumps for a final run down Whistler Mountain. The itinerary allows for two afternoon (day) tours from camp to ski peaks without overnight packs.

We supply tents and all group gear. The trip is fully catered with the light but super-filling mountain food choices.

I have done this trip over 35 times since 1985.

$800 per person (Minimum 3).
