Since 2014 the Sea to Sky Gondola has been providing easy access to some of the most beautiful terrain in the Sea to Sky Corridor. The vast network of trails throughout the subalpine cater to people of all skill levels, with everything from beginner hikes, to long scrambles, and serious alpine climbs. In winter months, the luxury of a getting that first 9am lift - a lovely late start by ski touring standards, and being whisked into the alpine in a matter of minutes, is an unbeatable way to experience and ski in some big alpine terrain. It's no wonder that it's been such a hot spot for local skiers and riders throughout the Sea to Sky, you really can't beat getting from the city to the alpine in under 90 minutes! That's why we're beyond stoked to be working with our friend at Altus Mountain Guides to get you out there. Get ready to take on on some more challenging uptracking before reaping the benefits that the more advanced and epic lines in the zone have to offer!
