A 45min drive from Revelstoke is Glacier National Park. Huge mountains, deep snow and massive vertical make the area “epic”.
These mountains are where our guides have cut their teeth. Its our backyard and we’re stoked to show you a good time.
Nothing is a close hit, days require long approaches and big days. We want to get you the goods, but you need to come with a high level of fitness and backcountry ability.
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

Transport home
A local ACMG guide targeting a days on you and your groups vibe. Avalanche education at the beginning of the trip.
You will need to provide your own transportation to and from Revelstoke. Accommodation is not included. You will carpool each day to the trailhead. You will need all your own ski touring/ splitboard gear and avalanche safety equipment. Gratuity is not included in the trip cost.
We dont believe this is the best arena to learn. Guests must have a high level of fitness and expert downhill ability.
You are responsible for bringing your own backcountry gear (and knowing how to use it). This includes transceiver, shovel, 300cm probe, touring pack, skins and SNACKS.
Y-E-S. There is inherent risk in the activities we are partaking in. We are exposed to a remote and uncontrolled environment. It is vital to us that you understand what you are getting yourselves into. We use a waiver for you to understand these risks, use this document as a way to communicate to us 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 – info@capow.ca
Heck no! But generally yes - our guides do a fantastic job at bringing you somewhere might not venture on your own. That could be scoring a fresh line. The fitter the group the further we can take you!
