        Whistler area

        Hey guys,


        This is my second season in Whistler and unfortunatly my backcountry/touring partners left town over the summer.  I am then looking for buddies to go touring and find some fresh stashes in the area.  


        It is my second season touring and I have my AST 1.  


        let me know if you're interested!

        I'll send you a prive message and we can work something out for those days.


        Weekend trips are ideal for me, and I can usually get Fridays off as well.

        Hey guys,

        I'm around from the 30th nov - 2nd dec! I have the CAA Avalanche ops 1 so a fair bit of experience, but have never been around the Whistler area.

        Hey guys,

        I am in the Whistler area for the season. Looking for people to tour with off the resort and beyond, would really like to expore this area a bit more. Mid week or saturdays is good. I've been touring for 3 years, used to digging pits for basic snow analysis and re-practice avy skills at the beginning of every season.


        Ping me if you are looking for ski touring parter(s).
