Guided SKI TOURING
in the sea to sky

Deep snow, big terrain and plenty of ways to get after it, whether it’s your first day on skins or your hundredth.

Earn your turns.
let’s go find good snow.

Whether you're chasing fresh tracks in perfect powder or learning the ropes of ski touring for the first time, I offer private guided ski touring and splitboarding trips tailored to your goals and experience.

Based in Squamish, BC, I’ve spent years exploring the Sea to Sky, from the Whistler Blackcomb backcountry to the Duffey and touring areas closer to home. I’m always stoked to share the best lines, good snow and quieter zones with others.

From mellow glades to big alpine bowls, I’ll help you find the right day out with a focus on safety, learning and having fun in the backcountry.

With world-class ski touring terrain, there’s no shortage of options for an unforgettable day in the Sea to Sky backcountry.

Popular SKI TOURs:

Whistler Blackcomb Backcountry - Accessed via the lifts, with huge terrain options once we leave the resort boundary.
Duffey Lake Road (The Duffey) - Solitude, scenic lines, and a wide range of objectives for every skill level.
Sea to Sky Gondola Backcountry - Amazing tree skiing, storm-day terrain, and cheeky powder stashes near Squamish.

WANT TO GO A LITTLE FURTHER?

Got your eye on the Spearhead Traverse, a hut trip or a few days at a backcountry lodge? These trips take more planning, so get in touch early and we’ll start putting the pieces together.

There are lots of opportunities to go deeper and further for solitude, fresh powder and pushing your limits.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

TYLER G

Drew is a wonderful guide and human being. He’s guided me through alpine climbing training, backcountry skiing and multipitch climbing in Squamish. He’s professional, a natural teacher and makes every day a great time. I’ve completed objectives with Drew that I wouldn’t attempt alone while building the confidence to pursue my own.
CHRISTOPHER R

Drew is the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of going into the mountains with. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, safe and conscientious, with a patient and positive teaching style. What truly makes him stand out is his genuine care for the people who join him. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
DILAN F

Drew is an amazing guide who I’ve had the pleasure of learning from over the last two years. He has tailored rock climbing, hiking and scrambling sessions to my interests and beginner experience. Every session has been appropriately challenging and fun, including days organized for friends visiting from abroad.
CHUCK B

Drew is just the best! He guided my friend I up the Chief for our first time. He is such a nice person with a calm demeanor and is so knowledgeable in the mountains. He really put us at ease in the big terrain and made the experience so enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back to him again!
