VALKYR ADVENTURES

Nestled in the famed southern Selkirks snow zone, Valkyr Adventures offers both “base camp” and “hut-to-hut” ski-touring adventures in a remote corner of the B.C. Kootenays. Between these huts, the Valkyrs feature a lifetime of skiing adventure. Chutes, trees, bowls, gullies and even an eerie forest fire burn await the intrepid adventurer. Some mid-week tours feature morning “heli-bump” lifts that greatly maximize skiing time. Ski with a private guide whose judgement you trust (and who plays a mean version of American Pie on the guitar) by privately booking the LQ Outpost Lodge.

Cool stat: The Valkyrs of Norse mythology are angel-like figures who bear the souls of lost warriors to heaven (aka Valhalla).
