AN INVITATION TO ADVENTURE

Talus is a fully catered and guided backcountry skiing for private groups of 10-14 people. In the winter, Talus is a helicopter access lodge which stages from Canmore, Alberta.

We count wolverine tracks, not vertical feet. We promise, the skiing is either going to be fun, funny or both! Mother nature is the boss of winter.  We can’t predict snow conditions but for the adventurous skier, we can guarantee a whoop worthy good time. We are not humble braggers but when we ski at Talus, we can’t get the smile off our faces.  Our goal, whether you are a beginner with grit or a relaxed powder hound, is for you to have your best day, everyday.

The historical average height of snow is 1.5-2.0 meters. A big day at Talus is 1000 metres of elevation. Average runs range between 100-300 meters and our terrain is a mix of high alpine, gladed trees and tree skiing. Our longest tree run is 650 meters.

THE BACKCOUNTRY SKI GUIDING PROGRAM

  • Talus runs a safety conscious ski program led by ACMG ski guides for alpine touring, telemarking and split boarders.
  • It’s best if the group has relativity the same ability and/or understands that the guiding team guides to the average level of the group.  There are often turn around points for folks who want to head home early.
  • Guests are required to bring ski or splitboard equipment including climbing skins.
  • Guests are required to bring a digital avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
  • Guests must be able to ski in all types of snow and conditions.
  • Talus does not permit self guiding.
  • Minors require parental and/or guardians attendance in order to take part in the ski guiding program.
