Whistler’s famous Spearhead Traverse! An ultra-classic coastal ski tour, the Spearhead Traverse links up the Spearhead range behind Blackcomb Mountain with the Fitzsimmons Range of Whistler in a spectacular horseshoe shaped high-elevation traverse. The route has it all: 12 glaciers, 11 high alpine passes, 34 kms and some of the most spectacular mountain views around.
While the trip can be done in a day by fit rando skiers, most groups spend 2-4 days on the route. We offer a few different options but the most popular is the 2-day traverse.

On the morning of the first day we sign some waivers, review our gear and head up the lifts. Once we top out on Blackcomb we head up and over the East Col and the adventure begins. After a nice long day of touring we camp at the back end of the range by the MacBeth Glacier. Future home to the next Spearhead Hut. The next morning, after some fresh coffee, we continue the traverse to the south and around Overlord & Fissile, past the new Kees & Claire Hut, and out the infamous Singing Pass Trail.
