1. Ashlu Elaho Divide

   The crem de la crem alpine experience. Big Glaciers, long runs. A legendary seldom visited zone located NW of Squamish. The Ashlu Elaho Divide is a chain of alpine summits between Ashlu Mountain and Buck. If you've been up the Squamish Valley, looked west and went, whoa! This is what you're looking towards. NOTE: This location is subject to additional flight costs 4 people: $650 per person additional 8 people: $250 per person additional https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zg7LXvg2RwnX2V7bA

2. Mystery Creek Nestled just south of Mt Currie is the glaciers and most northern summits of Garibaldi Park. Like a mini blackcomb backcountry this place provides alpine skiing and glaciers. Head south for big gnar at the owls.
