April 20-22

After a successful debut in 2006, the WBFJ is now a regular annually scheduled backcountry event. This three day event celebrates what backcountry skiing was before the modern ski resort and the phenomenon it has become today. Out of bounds skiing and snowboarding has never been more popular or safer then it is today, so come and experience a taste of the forbidden fruit in an event that celebrates the roots and rich tradition of what we have come to know as modern skiing and snowboarding. Events include amateur and pro backcountry competitions and the first The North Face Canadian Ski Mountaineering Championships, chances to demo the latest backcountry equipment, meet and learn from the professionals, avalanche clinics, and out of bounds tours.
