There’s something undeniably magical about skiing through pristine Yukon wilderness, where untouched snow stretches for miles and the northern sky glows with a light all its own. Adventure skiing in the Yukon isn’t just about the sport – it’s about immersing yourself in the
stillness, the solitude and the beauty of the North.
For those looking to experience this magic first-hand, guests of The Call of the Yukon don’t just explore the landscape; they become part of a way of life. Hosted by a local family living off-grid in a handcrafted log cabin, skiers share warm homemade herbal tea and a hot lunch while taking in breathtaking views. Breaking trail in fresh snow, they follow the tracks of hare and moose, knowing they are the only humans for miles.
You never know who you might meet
One of their most memorable backcountry ski tours takes you deep into the Yukon’s vast landscapes, where silence is broken only by the sound of skis gliding over snow.
Imagine setting off under a moonlit sky, the frost collecting on your eyelashes as you move through the quiet wilderness. As dawn breaks, the horizon blazes with colour over a frozen lake, revealing a world of stillness and silence. On one such tour, a lone lynx emerged from the willows, locking eyes with a skier for the briefest, breathless moment before vanishing into the trees. These are the moments that define adventure skiing in the Yukon – moments of pure connection with nature.
Those who venture on these tours return with more than just memories; they take home a deeper understanding of the North, and an appreciation of its natural vitality. Ready to answer the call?
