about backcountryfinder

Built in BC, for BC.

our story

Built out of frustration.

why this exists

Every season I spend hours clicking between different websites just to find a course that fits my schedule. Six providers. Six different booking systems. Six calendars to cross-reference. It shouldn't be this hard. So I built this.

what we do

BackcountryFinder pulls course listings from BC's top providers every 6 hours and surfaces them in one searchable place. We cover backcountry skiing, AST courses, rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking, mountain biking and more — summer and winter. Every "Book Now" goes directly to the provider's booking page. We don't take a commission. We don't mark up prices. We just make it easier to find what you're looking for.
