The infrastructure of a well managed, full-send day.
We obsess over efficiency and risk management so that you can push yourself beyond your current limits and take yourself to the next level.
ACMG-certified guides
Every Aurora Backcountry guide is certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides with professional avalanche credentials through the Canadian Avalanche Association.
Gear list, backpack dialed
We'll help you optimize your backpack so that you're prepared for all conditions. Understand why you bring the gear you do and where it becomes valuable.
Storm-windowed bookings
We know the current conditions and watch the snow forecast so you don't have to. Bookings flex 24 hours to chase the optimal conditions and locations.
Small groups, big terrain
Never more than six guests per guide, with terrain matched to the day and to your level. Mixed groups and more technical objectives also get a tail guide.

* Unused-day transfer requires purchasing a pass for the following season. Example: use 8 of your 16 days and half of the 8 unused (4 days) carry over, so a new Sea to Sky pass becomes 4 + 4 = 8 days. Add the Accidental Injury Benefit (+$50) and, with a successful injury claim, 100% of your unused days transfer instead.
