END OF DAY

Once you have completed your package, squeezed in a few final runs, and your legs have nothing left to give — that’s when you know it’s been a day well spent in the Purcell Mountains.

Once you’re back, bar is open and après begins. We’ll have a certificate of accomplishment for you, a commemorative pin and a complimentary run map where your guide will mark out where you skied for the day.
