Skookum Backcountry is an adventure tourism operator in Yukon, Canada. We don’t do “packages”. Instead, we invite you to work with us to develop a custom trip for you. No Skookum adventure follows the same tracks. But every trip is meticulously mapped for safety and designed for our clients’ backcountry proficiencies and hankerings.
We do for a living what you want to do for fun. That’s what makes our avalanche skills training courses so unique. We teach you the core principles of avalanche safety but also get you into the most interesting terrain that the weather and snowpack will allow.

From the tallest mountains in Canada and the largest non-Polar ice cap in the world, to the vastness of the Boreal forest and the sheer enormity of the rivers, the Yukon will take your breath away and leave you in awe.
Skookum’s lead guide and owner, James Minifie, approaches every trip and training course with leadership, safety and a passion to create extraordinary experiences for our clients.
