Get remote and settle into a true backcountry basecamp experience in the mountains of Western Canada. Park yourself in a prime location, wake up surrounded by alpine terrain, and be first in line for untouched snow each morning.

Basecamp trips are designed to maximize time in the mountains and minimize daily logistics. Instead of driving between zones or returning to town each night, you’ll stay deep in the backcountry with direct access to incredible terrain right outside the door. From glaciated alpine objectives and powder-filled tree skiing to long traverses and technical descents, these trips deliver an immersive mountain experience far from the crowds. Truly no tracks, no people 

Conditions, weather, and group objectives shape each day, giving guides the flexibility to choose the best skiing available directly from camp. Evenings are spent recovering, sharing meals, and enjoying the atmosphere that only comes from being completely removed from roads, resorts, and busy mountain towns.

Aurora Backcountry has spent years operating remote backcountry programs throughout Western Canada. Our guides manage the logistics, risk management, and mountain planning so you can focus on skiing great snow, exploring wild terrain, and experiencing life deep in the mountains.

Backcountry focused, no tracks, no people.

At Aurora Backcountry, we’ve spent decades exploring mountains around the world—from Japan and Norway to New Zealand and Western Canada. Along the way, we learned that the best adventures happen with passionate local guides who know the terrain, culture, and hidden gems. That experience shaped Aurora Backcountry. We create exceptional backcountry adventures led by professional guides and handle the logistics behind the scenes, so you can focus on great turns, great people, and unforgettable mountain experiences.
