Rogers Pass is one of the undoubted capitals of North American ski touring thanks to its reliable powder, massive vertical and varied terrain types. This guided and catered camp give you the chance to fully experience the world class touring out of Wheeler Hut. With plenty of touring straight from the door to enjoy and with close access back to the highway, you will always be able to travel to the best snow available.
This year we are offering our Wheeler Powder Camp on a prime weekend (Friday to Monday) to accommodate for your busy schedule. The spectacular, high altitude location of the hut will allow you to tackle some of Rogers Pass’s more involved ski mountaineering objectives and our knowledgeable guides will allow you get the most out of your visit.
Our Rogers Pass Powder Camps are always some of our most popular so let us take the stress out of your Rogers Pass experience this winter and register early to avoid disappointment!
