The Tricouni area typically receives 20% more snowfall on average than Whistler/Blackcomb. The average snowfall is approximately 11 meters / 432 inches / 36 feet per year. The most accessible backcountry powder skiing and snowboarding in Whistler, BC. We are young at heart and very excited to show off our beautiful British Columbia backyard to new people. No lift lines, epic powder all day, great atmosphere, and the best 'bang for your buck'. A great skiing adventure.

Snowcat skiing is unlike a resort style ski area. There are no maintained runs or grooming and the snow is often deep. Much of the area is similar to an un-groomed Black Diamond. Snowcat Skiing is a backcountry experience. Snow can very from fluff to corn and everything in between. Your guides try and match the groups ability level to the terrain. At the very least, you should be comfortable with a good blue/easy black run.
