About this event

We're starting a social ski touring club!

Whistler ski-tourers and split-boarders this one's for you!
Pull yourself out of bed and join us for some ski touring, groggy chitchats, and hot coffee. Party pace the whole way up, January 8th at 7:00am. This is designed to be a fun way to meet new touring partners, make new friends and work the legs a bit. Don't miss it!

We will be doing this every other week, so we created a punch pass to reward returning participants with prizes of all sorts! (more details soon)

Where:
Meet at the bottom of Blackcomb gondola. We're using the Blackcomb designated uptrack.

When:
January 8th. Group leaves at 7:00am. (be ready to go at 7:00am)
1h30 of skinning and ski down for some coffee.


See you there!

Frequently asked questions

I've never ski toured before, can I come?

Yes, the route is beginner friendly and we will be moving at a relaxed pace. Please arrive earlier than 7:00am to get ready as we will be leaving at 7:00am.

What gear do I need?

Since we will be in the resort the whole time, you do not need avalanche safety gear (beacon, probe, shovel). Although it's always good to practice carrying your gear. You will need equipment to walk uphill so touring boots, bindings, skins, skis or a splitboard.

What time will we get back down?

Expect to be down at the Blackcomb gondola no later than 9:00am.

What runs will we ski down?

We'll be skiing down the green groomed runs. If you want to ski a different way you can.
