Go beyond the road, beyond the lodges, and deep into some of the most remote mountain environments on the planet. Our expeditions are built for experienced ski tourers and splitboarders looking for a more serious and immersive backcountry experience, often lasting two weeks or more.

These trips are about exploration, self-sufficiency, and committing to big objectives in wild places. Expeditions may involve moving from basecamp to basecamp, traveling across glaciers, navigating remote coastlines, or operating far from any permanent infrastructure. Weather, terrain, and conditions become part of the journey, requiring patience, flexibility, and a strong team mindset.

Destinations may include Mount Logan, Greenland, Svalbard, Baffin Island, or Antarctic objectives. Every expedition is unique, shaped by the environment, conditions, and pace of travel through truly remote terrain.

These trips are rare and not for everyone. They require commitment, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty in remote environments. But when the right group comes together, expeditions become some of the most rewarding mountain experiences possible.

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.
