Join us for the highlight of your summer (yes, SUMMER) vacation to Whistler. Previously only at the Columbia Icefield near Jasper and Banff could you have the opportunity to actually step foot on real Canadian glaciers. And even then you really only got to experience what has become a glacier parking lot, full of diesel buses and hundreds of people. Here's your opportunity to actually walk in solitude on incredible glaciers during the comfort of summer, high up above scenic Whistler Village.
The summer affords the opportunity for regular folks like you to experience something only hard core adventurers get to enjoy in the winter. Our glacier can offer clear sunny days perfect for that family photo in the snow high above Whistler Village. Travel with our fun, professional guides to areas you could only imagine. We'll supply all of your necessary gear and offer low guest to guide ratios. We look forward to showing you something not many get to experience in a lifetime.
