This is to answer any last-minute questions and to give the guide a better idea of what exactly you are looking for from your day. You can stay in Golden or Revelstoke, both of which are about 60 minutes away from Rogers Pass.

  • We will meet at 0730 at the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. We will go over the waivers, assumptions of risks, and hazards associated with the specific tour. We will go over the trip plan, forecasted weather, current and forecasted avalanche conditions and avalanche hazard. We will check the gear and head out into the field by 08:30.  Every guest will be given a companion rescue refresher, which could be 15 mins or 1 hr, depending on your experience and proficiency with the avalanche rescue gear. Afterward, we will continue with the daily objective (think 5-7 hours, 1000m+ vert).  We plan on being back at the car no later than 1600.
