Ski Touring and Splitboarding Adventures

The backcountry experts

Ski touring and its younger sister splitboarding have grown exponentially in popularity over the past 10 years, as more people discover the raw beauty and untouched powder slopes of the backcountry. Our team has ski toured around the world to discover the best and most beautiful backcountry locations, from the volcanoes of Hokkaido and jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites to the steep and deep mountains of BC and breathtaking fjords of Norway.

We work exclusively with passionate guides, who live and breathe their local mountains every day. This local knowledge creates a deeper connection with the mountains as well as a safer and more genuine experience in the backcountry. We create ski touring and splitboarding adventures for a wide-range of abilities, from piste skiers looking to get into the backcountry for the first time, through to multi-day expeditions for experienced ski mountaineers.

Aaron

Had an amazing time touring with Mabey Ski. First class operation. It was fun, relaxed, very well organized and professional. Our guide was amazing. This was my first time touring, and I felt welcome from the first moment. Absolutely loved the après experience too. Can't say enough about what a great time I had.

James

Amazing trip! Heli drop into base camp for a weekend of great spring skiing with blue skies. Fantastic guide. The whole trip was very well organized - especially the après drinks served the moment we finished the last run! Thank you Mabey Ski! The whole experience was awesome. First helicopter ride. No downsides at all to this trip.

John

Amazing backcountry experience with Nickey and Ben in the Squamish backcountry!! Two fabulous days exploring and touring glaciers along with a luxury camping experience!

Leanne

The people on the trip were great and the tone was set by the hosts which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Everything was explained e.g.no rush in the morning as we have to wait for the snow to soften. I found that great as I am usually rushing around setting super early alarms. The après ski set up was really great- just so novel and it such a great setting!
