Winter at Bear Mountaineering & Burnie Glacier Chalet
Big Terrain. Backcountry Bliss.
Northern British Columbia is a backcountry skier’s paradise with some of the most rugged and least-explored mountains in British Columbia, Canada.
Ski mountaineering in northern B.C.’s backcountry means magnificent ascents over intricate glaciers, deep powder, undiscovered tree runs, and lots of vertical – 1,700 metres / 6,000 ft.
Bear Mountaineering’s ACMG/ UIAGM certified Mountain Guide will make a daily avalanche forecast and select the best—and safest – skiing through spectacular and stimulating terrain.
