From first time powder skiers to seasoned backcountry powder hounds, we
have it all: 60 feet of virgin powder (2006-2007) spread over 4,300
acres and five peaks, with over 40% more snow than Whistler Blackcomb.
When you come out into the backcountry you will get the goods. We may
be only 20 minutes down the road from Whistler but we're in a different
snow belt. We get more. Way more. Our powder is fresh, not farmed.
Tricouni
This is our epic tree skiing mecca. Great runs through the trees
with an average vertical of 1200 to 2500 feet. Old growth and gladed
new growth forests make for great runs on one side of the peak, and The
North Shore awaits you with it’s Little and Big Kahuna Bowls on the
other side of the peak. When it's dumping and "The Peak" and "7th
Heaven" are closed, all the heliskiing companies are not flying and
everyone else is stuck in Whistler Village waiting, book a seat. We'll
take you to not just the good stuff, we'll take you to the "real good
stuff". This fall we cut a bunch of new runs as well so they aren't on the map. Who knows maybe you will be here when something memrable or funny happens and before you know it, the run has a name.
Check the maps and start planning your first turns.
Brew Ridge
If you look at the map as notice what looks like really good tree skiing behind our Tricouni graphic, that is Brew Ridge. A road is being cut by Terminal Forest Products to access that this winter. They are trying to make it 2.5 km long before they shut down for the winter. This winter, tight trees, next summer it is being logged so next winter there will be amazing skiing in glades.
Cypress
Cypress is our epic high alpine skiing. Great runs ranging from 1500 to
3800 vertical feet with everything you could imagine: open faces with
the perfect pitch for first timers, tree runs with perfect spacing
through massive old growth, glades that will leave you howling with
stoke, epic chutes, banks and features to jump off, not to mention the
breathtaking view. With Whistler Blackcomb to the north, Black Tusk to
the east and Mount Fee to the northwest, you are surrounded by a
panorama of huge BC mountains. When it snows it snows hard. Cypress
gets easily double the snow Whistler Blackcomb receives in a storm.
When the weather allows us into the Cypress area it’s a day you’ll
never forget with powder that never ends.
Faster Access
Our good friend George and his crew at Terminal Forest Products massaged almost the entire road in to Cypress during the fall. Cutting back alder trees, smoothing out low points and bridging the big holes and cutting an entire new road almost the entire way through the trees to get to Cypress. Now with our new Pisten Bully snowcats that have 100 more horsepower than our previous Bombardiers, the drive in is about 15 minutes quicker than it was last year. Thanks George. Logging Feed My Shred.
Tricouni North Shore
This is our epic tree skiing mecca. Great runs through the trees
with an average vertical of 1200 to 2200 feet. Old growth and gladed
new growth forests make for great runs on one side of the peak, and The
North Shore awaits you with it’s Little and Big Kahuna Bowls on the
other side of the peak. When it's dumping and "The Peak" and "7th
Heaven" are closed, all the heliskiing companies are not flying and
everyone else is stuck in Whistler Village waiting, book a seat. We'll
take you to not just the good stuff, we'll take you to the "real good
stuff". Check the maps and start planning your first turns.
Faster Access
This fall we decided as much as we love sitting in the cat, we love making turns in powder more. So we fixed the original road out of The Big Kahuna and made it straighter, smoother and wider. Now with our new Pisten Bullys we will be able to get more runs in on the North Shore. The changes have saved about 10 minutes on the lap. While we were there, we cut a bunch of new lines into the Little Kahuna Bowl area so there are lots of fresh turns to be had this winter. Who knows maybe the run will get named on your trip.
