Guiding

The big difference between Resort Guiding & Lift Accessed Backcountry is the terrain you will be riding. Resort guiding will focus on the terrain inside the resort boundaries. This doesn’t mean just the groomers. There are plenty of tree runs and powder to be found!  

As soon we step outside the resort boundaries, we will end up in the world of the backcountry. The main difference with backcountry terrain is that the resort does not maintain or control the conditions to mitigate risk for riders (like avalanches).

If you choose Lift Accessed Backcountry, you will get to enjoy the powder outside the resort boundaries while still be able to enjoy lift access.
