The Sea to Sky's Largest Wilderness Playground

Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Coast Mountain Range, just 20 minutes south of Whistler and 1.5 hours north of Vancouver lies The Callaghan Valley - or what the locals consider a hidden gem. During the winter months, this breathtaking valley transforms into a snow-covered paradise: explore around 40 kilometers of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, as well as thousands of hectares of backcountry terrain. Soak in the serene beauty of the alpine wilderness, and for the ultimate winter retreat, stay at Journeyman Lodge. With cozy accommodations, hearty meals, and access to pristine trails, it’s the perfect base for an unforgettable mountain getaway.

The Callaghan is the perfect venue for this event, with its breathtaking terrain, untouched powder, and rich history as a hub for backcountry exploration.”
