Whats the Plan?

15-20cm on top of the crust created by last weeks rain event. Things are transitioning to spring in the valley but winter lives on in the alpine! We are settling into a nice spring time weather pattern and snowpack. Powder skiing will remain on the polar aspects with decent 1500m freezing levels. Tr

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday. It was super fun. I love see the community develop and everyone crush it in the mountains 😎. Matt Casson is having a close look at the Weather today and tomorrow. Stay tuned for a more detailed plan for later this week when we see exactly how these warm te

Hi folks, We need 2 more people to sign up for tomorrow Tuesday and 1 more to sign up for Thursday March 13th. This is the best week to call in sick at work! Do it!

Looking for 2 people for this Wednesday to make the day run. Around 10cm is in the forecast with an 1100m freezing level. Stay tuned later this week for more weather updates!

Ok. Looks like we have some snow on the way. Especially near the end of the week. Here are some considerations to keep an eye on. 1. STSG temps: If the temps stay lower than forecasted we will be in for a treat as this zone will receive the most precip. I'll update you all if this happens.... be rea

Hey everyone. This upcoming weekend is looking like it will be be great for skiing! Freezing levels are set to jump up Saturday night to about 1600m so lets get out on Saturday and ski the tree's while it's still good. As temperatures rise we will likely take the opportunity to get up higher on Sun

Friday and Saturday need a few more people to go explore then new snow. Sunday we have 6 going from Whistler with Dan. There are still spots available on all of these trips. Msg me or Dan if you have any questions! Weather Update:

Hey folks! The weekend is coming up quick and I wanted to talk about the plan for Saturday, as well as introduce myself, as I'm new to the Aurora program. First, let's talk a bit about conditions... Not much for snow in the forecast and the snow that's around has taken a bit of a beating with re

Hey everyone. Hope the festive season is coming to a close for y’all so we can focus on all the powder out there! There is another storm inbound. There is much discrepancy in the amounts. I think we could be pleasantly surprised with more snow then forecast. Looks like a nice reset for both days.

Hi Crew! Looking for a third so we can get out on Sunday. We will be looking for smooth mellow powder skiing from the WB backcountry, most likely Whistler. After that the holiday week looks great! Decent temps and a number of rounds of precip! Sign up and let’s get out!

Hey Aurora Folks , We have a spearhead traverse available April 5th to April 7th! Spring is here so let’s enjoy this whistler classic ! It’s a right of passage for any backcountry enthusiast. Time to make the most of what’s left of winter!

Hey folks. Looks like we are coming into another storm system Friday through Sunday leaving us with up to 30-40cm of new snow. Most of it comes Friday during the day and Sunday during the day. Friday - Duffy with the Van unless people are more keen on the resort access. Saturday - Blackcomb Sunday

Howdy folks 👋. Simon here, one of the OG ABC guides! That’s right, I helped Ben during that inaugural 2021 season get this thing off the ground and after dealing with several years of back to back season ending injuries (blown knee, broken back, etc), I am back stronger than ever. I’m stoked to

We had such a great day on Rhor this past sunday. It looks like we could and should do a repeat. Looking at the looming rise in freezing levels it make the most sense to go to the Duffey again. I got good feedback from the video quick and dirty weather and condition announcement. I'll do another to

I've been looking at the weather all day. Whistler is winning the Temp and Snow competition. The STSG is raining and moist snow is falling at 1300m... A real shame because we are going to get over 100mm over the next 4 days there. Let hope the temp forecast is wrong and freezing levels get back to 9

Hey everyone. The stable weather continues into the week. There is still lots of good skiing to be had! Sunshine and -10 degree days are worth coming out for. Tuesday - Whistler/Blackcomb - 2 more needed Wednesday - Whistler/Blackcomb - running Thursday - Whistler/Blackcomb Friday - Duffy Hop

Hey everyone, Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine on the coast right now. I just wanted to let you know what options we have in store for this week and weekend. We will have a week of dry and cold conditions with lots of sunshine. The high pressure ridge begins to weaken on Thursday when we co

Hi Everyone. If there is anyone that wants to make a go on the ledge couloir on thursday in the STSG zone. I would be keen. The temps will be warm the next 2 days and then we will get cold and get some snow (15-30cm) along with some light wind. I will cancel the day if the conditions don't look fa

He’s back! Winter is here and the snow is about to let up briefly 😎 . You’ve all seen the news and the socials. Things out there are great. Let’s go do some exploring. Plans for the upcoming days: Monday the 30th will be a day out towards decker. Tuesday 31 We will head to the Duffy. Heartstrin

After a base building week of storms we are in for some warmer temps for the weekend starting Friday. Best chance for finding good conditions will be as high as we can get , so locations will be WB based. Stay tuned! Next week we settle into an active precip pattern with more favourable temps for

Wednesday night is when the temperature drops and snow should return. The question is how sudden is the transition and how much snow comes (up to 15cm). Then, an additional 25cm with cool temps throughout Thursday/Friday and Saturday. Sunday should be a full reset with blue skies! Friday I’ll

Just needing one more on each of these days for them to run. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a go, if anyone wants to join last minute, let me know. Looks like the weather is on a clearing trend for the end of the week.

Planning ahead, and weather permitting of course. March 21-24 - Heli accessed touring and Day trips. March 25-28 - Heli In/Out base camp. Comfy Winter camping. 3 different locations to choose from depending on the weather. Hopefully the weather and snow let us climb some cool peaks and ski s

Temps are Rising!! However. Snow is falling in the Duffey, and we have a clearing all day... So we go there. Currently thinking Rhor Ridge. We get up high and then stay high. Great views and a cool ski down and around. Apres in Pemberton. Good times 😄 Aurora shuttle available from both squam

Hey Everyone. I'm stoked, I just got back from Japan and I'm bring the snow with me. Check out both forecasts below. I believe we will get MORE SNOW throughout the day. My prediction will be 20-30 in places where the wind and the terrain help out a bit. So, lets go and see how it shapes up. Curren

Hey Everyone. For these 4 days I want to propose a winter camping trip. Let me know if you’re interested with a comment or a direct message! A) heli in/out Mt Curry zone. • 3 nights/4 days camping in the same spot • Bring all the good food and warm stuff • Lots of varied terrain B) Spear

Hi Everyone. Myself and a bunch of tail guides are going to go for a ski and practice some crevasse rescue. We have a good location with Ice and snow. Weather looks MINT! 🔆 So it will be a great day on the mountains learning some skills. Location will be Spearhead Glacier. Meet location is our def

Heh everyone. Looking ahead to next weekend we have a nice reset coming in Thurs night into Friday. We expect 15- 25 cm with dropping freezing levels. Then it looks like we will get a clearing trend by Saturday. Stay tuned for in update on the storm mid week. As far as our plan for next weekend w

Hey Everyone. I am very excited about the forecast. It looks like we will be getting some snow all week. Tomorrow I am heading up to scout a zone near Pemberton. I'll make sure to do a daily report so that you all get an idea of the conditions up there. Currently I am all about skiing the powder. L

Alright folks, here’s the scoop for the coming weekend with the Aurora Backcountry Pass: It's far too early for accurate Wx forecasts so don’t expect a precise itinerary anytime soon. As usual, we’ll wait until about a day or two before to lock down our final routes. For now, conditions look pretty
