Alessia (Mar 2025)

It was my first time in Canada and I could have not hoped for anything better. The powder-snow was so deep, soft and light. The landscapes of the Canadian Rockies were breathtaking and massive. Our guide Jeff was simply amazing: a true Canadian that worked for decades in these mountains and was able to quickly adapt the plans with the weather conditions ensuring a truly exceptional (and safe) adventure. 4 days back-country skiing in some of the best mountains in the world, what a dream! Canada lived up to its name! Thank you Mapo Tapo!
