Advice for Whistler first timer

[8hundo]

Found out I am going to Whistler first week in April. Been wanting to go for some time so I am very excited. Looking for recommendations for a tour with rental sleds(mountain sleds of course) for a one day excursion. I am an experienced rider hoping to find something a little beyond the standard tour. I would like to see some of that wide open glacial mountain riding that I have seen in some of the videos shot up there, mixed with a little boondocking maybe? Any recommendations or advice?

I would highly recommend Ray Mason at http://www.totallyawesomeadventures.com/

He has new 800 ski doos, and he will show you a little bit of everything.

I second Chris at ridewithchrisbrown.com. I had the priviledge to ride with him last year. Great guy, one hell of a rider, and he'll teach you everything you want to know or help hone skills you already have. He also has sleds you can rent, I do believe all the rental sleds have every modification that he has done to his sled as well. All turbo Yamaha Nytro's.

rent a sled somewhere and give Geoff Kyle a call at Geoff Kyle's freeride adventures. Great guy and phenomenal rider, he'll show you some awsome terrain.

Is there much of an avalanche threat on the ice cap?

Here's a link to avi forecast in the area. http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/latest/sea-to-sky


But hands on evaluation and knowledge of the snowpack is essential to backcoutry riding as you should know. The Ice Caps have paths to travel safely and get you to the wide open icefields. Enjoy!
