New Zealand Guided Ski Touring

Take a tour of the backcountry around Table Mountain and Shuksan Arm or climb Mt. Baker or Mt. Shuksan, and make a classic skiing descent. Complete a major multi-day tour in the North Cascades on skis or split snowboard. Or work on your off-piste skills with coaching from a professional guide.

You can still feel independent and free while on a self-guided trip. This creates a much more intimate travel experience than even private guided adventure tours. If you want to stay a little longer for photos, take a small detour, or just travel at a slower pace, you’re usually free to do so as long as you’re where you need to be at specified points along the route.

Ski touring experience and a high level of fitness are essential. Previous mountaineering experience is also required. Use of crampons for the classic itinerary. Ski touring has become more accessible and popular thanks to the rapid advancements in snowboard and ski technology. New equipment has made it easier to ski tour, making it more accessible for both skiers and snowboarders.

Explore our backcountry skiing tours and snowboarding trips to the most beautiful places on Earth. From ski touring volcanoes in Japan to sailing and skiing the Norwegian fjords, we have a number of multi-day backcountry trips for intermediate to advaned-expert skiers. In our home of Whistler we offer trips to local backcountry huts, cabins and lodges – not to mention our signature backcountry heli-basecamp – and are the experts in arranging guided ski days with a focus on pushing boundaries and creating the best memories. This shorter version of our classic Troll Peninsula ski touring program is the perfect dose for those who have less time as well as those looking to try out backcountry skiing and ski touring for the first time. Over four ski days we sample the best of the best in terrain and snow and manage to get a great feel for this world class ski touring range. At the end of this spectacular tour you will be ready for some more great ski mountaineering adventures.More.

Enjoy multiple ski destinations in one culturally rich guided tour. Local ski and snowboard guides are bilingual and friendly and know the best spots. Had the time of my life in both Japan and New Zealand with Mabey Ski, ski touring for the first time in Japan. Their team goes above and beyond, they think of every detail.

It is also possible for us to ski tour between the ski areas themselves. Because of the extra planning involved, custom tours are usually more expensive than self-guided or guided tours. These adventure tours are often worth the extra cost, as they will be more in line with your dreams and desires. Spend your time and money on all you want and nothing on the things you don’t.

Based out of our floating mountain hut Arktika we explore the remote Cape Horn region of NW Iceland. We ski from one fjord to another whilst our floating home sails around to meet us. There are no roads or people here, only the arctic Fox and seals who curiously observe these strange creatures that slide on the snow. New Zealand, with our reverse season to the Northern Hemisphere, is well recognised as an international ski destination. With a diverse range of options from commercial, Nordic cross-country, club fields and heli-skiing, visitors to New Zealand find the variety staggering, the terrain spectacular and the queues comparatively short. New Zealand offers some of the most beautiful ski and boarding vacations in the world, whether it’s in the North Island, on the Mount Ruapehu slopes, or down south around Queenstown Wanaka or Mount Hutt.

Welcome to a classroom you will never forget, our private Robrosa Hut.

The tour operators will usually arrange pick-up from your accommodation, drop off at the end, and take care everything else along the way.
