evoTrip brings like-minded travelers together in the most vibrant and unspoiled destinations on earth. For years, evoTrip has offered full-immersion adventure travel experiences blending sport, culture and the outdoors in a way that highlights the human connection.
When you book your trip with evo, you draw on their years of experience and local partners to remove all the hiccups. At the same time, their trips are not planned to the minute—in other words, you can still adventure at your own pace.
evoTrips span the globe and you can pick your focus, from mountain biking to trekking to multisport to campervan to ski/snowboard to surf! Here we’ll highlight three B.C. ski/snowboard offerings.
Journeyman Lodge
Local backcountry skiers pulled together to build Journeyman Lodge near Whistler in the ’90s and it’s been a destination for deep-pow adventurists ever since.
With evo’s acquisition of Callaghan Country Wilderness Adventures (owner of the Journeyman) in late 2021, they can now offer an immersive snow experience just 20 minutes south of Whistler Village.
Whistler Blackcomb’s snowfall is legendary and averages almost 11 metres per year, thanks to maritime air masses that slide up the valley from Howe Sound to higher elevations. The even better news is that every snowstorm hits Callaghan Country first. On the protected side of Powder Mountain, the Upper Callaghan Valley boasts a micro-climate that takes that maritime air mass and turns it into even more white gold.
Nestled at 4500 feet, Journeyman Lodge offers authentic, unique, and customizable backcountry adventures that begin right outside the front door. Opportunities for backcountry skiing/splitboarding and x-country skiing are endless.
Trip Package Includes:
- Backcountry guiding services for 3 full days
