5pm - Make a Plan
Your guide will connect with you the night prior.
You're coming to Revelstoke and you want to get after it. Let us connect you with a certified guide to hit up where it's best. Location will be based on conditions and your desires.
Revelstoke area backcountry and Rogers Pass touring require a high level of fitness and backcountry touring experience. You must have all your own touring equipment and transportation. Our guides will connect with you over a call the night before and meet you at the trailhead.
Limited availability with dates. Price is based on up to 4ppl. $50/day for each additional persons.
Group dynamics and vibe are so key in the backcountry. We excel in connecting the right environment for your ability, personality and interests. Think of us like the backcountry matchmakers; hook it up with the right guide, crew and direction for your experience. We’ve developed a way for you to communicate using your hands. Be honest and use this format to communicate your vibe.
Experience: You have a day or two out touring with friends but feel new and intimidated with 1) the term “complex terrain” 2) Transitions 3) multi peak day 4) Your outfit
Fitness: Love the outdoors, but wish you could get out more. A full day is fine, but prefer lots of snack breaks
Shredability: Strong intermediate. Can shred at least 85% of inbounds terrain at your local resort.
Experience: Completed either an Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 course or been guided backcountry skiing before. Generally proficient and confident with mountain travel. Limited experience in complex terrain, but excited to #exploremore
Fitness: Bring on a big day, but let’s talk the whole way. There’s more to life then panting for air.
Shredability: Advanced. Will shred all terrain and comfortable in changing snow conditions
Experience: You’ve been out there doing this for years maybe even completed an AST 2. You own an ice axe and aren’t afraid to use it.
Fitness: So you’re fit, and you identify yourself as such. You’re looking for big days and big vert.
Shredability: Humility is good but you can ski any terrain and make it look good.
Experience: Years of backcountry touring in complex terrain and a credible level of avalanche training. More-than-proficient with technical equipment: ice axe, crampons, roping up on a glacier.
Fitness: You think you can actually hang with Greg Hill?… the guy that ski toured 2 million vertical in a season.
Shredability: Rappel into a couloir or 10,000+ ft days – BRING IT

You might just find a new best friend. Yes, we’re guides, but we’re not going to hold ourselves higher than everyone else. More than anything, we’re mentors. We think safety should be fun, cool and the first priority of the ever-growing community of backcountry enthusiasts
Y-E-S. There is inherent risk in the activities we are partaking in. We are exposed to a remote and uncontrolled environment. Deciding to come on a trip that is guided by top industry professionals who have more experience in this environment than anyone. It is their prerogative to be diligent with their decisions. It is vital to us that you understand what you are getting yourselves into. We use a waiver for you to understand these risks and this document for you to communicate that you understand. Expect to see a copy upon booking. We will have a fresh waiver for you to sign the first day. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
The Caposse comes with years of experience both traveling in the big mountains and filming with the best skiers in the world…some trips even have the best skiers in the world. Some of our trips will get into big complex terrain given group ability and conditions. We trust that you keep all shredding within your ability and will get into some rad stuff.
We believe in coaching you with the gear you own. It is a requirement to have all your safety gear to the highest standards and touring equipment in good working order. If you do not have the right equipment we recommend renting from www.revelstokepowderrentals.com in downtown Revy.
Look no further, you are not our demographic.
