4. Whistler - British Columbia
Whistler makes a great base for a splitboarding trip due to the abundance of awesome stuff to hit both off the lifts at Whistler Blackcomb Resort and also in the massive backcountry that the area offers. Classic tours off the lifts include the Musical Bumps from the top of Whistler Mountain – a perfect tour for a powder day with great tree runs and big open bowls – and a trip to Fissile Peak behind Blackcomb Mountain to shred its famous central couloirs. It’s not difficult to find adventure in the surrounding backcountry as the Coast Mountains provide an endless wilderness full of deep snow and incredible terrain. Check out mountains around the Duffey Lake Road and around Pemberton for starters.
