Backcountry ski touring
There’s nothing quite like earning your turns in the Whistler backcountry—long skin tracks, untouched powder, and the kind of alpine views that make every climb worth it. Far beyond the lifts and groomed runs, backcountry ski touring is about the adventure, the challenge, and the reward of carving fresh lines in untouched snow.
This gallery captures the essence of ski touring in the Coast Mountains—the early-morning transitions under a rising sun, the rhythmic glide of skins on a remote ascent, and the moments of pure exhilaration as skis cut through bottomless powder on the way down. From navigating steep couloirs and exposed ridgelines to winding through snow-laden old-growth forests, every shot tells the story of exploration beyond the resort.
Backcountry ski photography is all about capturing the raw experience—the effort of the climb, the camaraderie between skiers, and the breathtaking scale of the mountains. Whether it’s a deep powder slash, a perfect turn on an untouched slope, or a windswept summit moment before dropping in, this gallery highlights the adventure, freedom, and challenge of earning every descent.
This is ski touring at its best—pure, untracked, and unforgettable.
