David Hinde, Tripadvisor

“We were picked up from our hotel by our friendly guide Zac and driven about 20mins from the Village into an area ideal for backcountry touring. Zac explained how to use our skins and we had a group lesson on using the beacons. We then set off and quickly realised what "earn your turns" really means. We all got the hang of it pretty quickly and enjoyed the untracked powder bowls we were rewarded with. The day finished before we really got too tired and we all agreed it was a must do tour! Having great photo's to look at the next day made the whole experiance a 10/10!”

“Just want to give a shout-out to Zach and Elsie … we had an amazing back-country experience and felt totally safe the whole time which was important for me and my 11 year old boy, it was his first experience. Photos were epic as was the powder we found on the day.”
