Spearhead Hut Overnight Trip
Two days of guided backcountry skiing and one overnight in a brand new state of the art hut in the Whistler backcountry.
On day 1 we will utilize the Whistler chairlift system to access the backcountry in Garibaldi Park. Once we enter the backcountry, it’s approximately 3-5 hours of ski touring to the reach the hut near Russet Lake. Time permitting, we will do a late afternoon ski tour in the surrounding area before returning to the hut for dinner and a relaxing evening. On day 2, there will be an option for a morning ski tour before returning to the Whistler village. Classic morning objective is Whirlwind Peak with epic views and a sweet descent back to the hut.
