Equinox Wilderness Expeditions, and its partner company Skigrlz, provides guiding services for a variety of winter and summer expeditions in Alaska and British Columbia. Skigrlz offers primarily women-only trips, with some family and co-ed trips throughout the season. Our trips are a minimum of 3 days, with most custom trips of a week or more.

From January until April, we offer weekend skiing and snowshoeing tours, as well as week-long guided backcountry ski trips. From our wilderness base, you can step out the door into the backcountry to ski or snowshoe during the day, and at night, enjoy gourmet dinners and relax by the fire, or soak in natural hotsprings.  For our snowshoe tours, no prior experience is required. For our ski trips, we welcome experienced backcountry skiers and mountaineers to join us for amazing turns in British Columbia powder.

We offer lodge-based hiking packages, as well as week-long backpacking trips. Our lodge based hiking trips are relaxing, and include yoga and hotsprings to complement day-hikes in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Backpacking trips are more strenuous as they require carrying gear and fjording streams, climbing over rugged, trail-less terrain. We offer a wide range of trips, from strenuous arctic expeditions in Alaska, to more gentle week-long beach trips in British Columbia. Our favorite trip is a 5 day women’s backpack trip on the wilderness beaches of British Columbia – sun, surf and sand -and no one out there on the beaches except us!

For over twenty years, Equinox Expeditions has been offering rafting trips and whitewater kayak instruction programs in Alaska. Skigrlz has partnered with Equinox to offer a wide range of new trips in British Columbia. Our river trips and sea kayaking expeditions require good fitness but no prior paddling experience. Most of our river and sea kayak trips are in remote wilderness, so require a good a fitness level and prior camping experience. Our whitewater instruction program is lodge-based, where you can spend the day kayaking class III and IV water, and then relax in a hammock overlooking the river with a good book, or soak in beautiful natural hotsprings.

In December-January, we offer rafting, hiking, mountaineering trips, and yoga and beach retreats in South America.

Every year, new and returning clients ask us to organize a variety of custom itineraries.  If you don’t find what you are looking for, we can arrange a custom trip for you.  We are continually exploring new places, so also keep an eye on the main website for this year’s special expeditions. Or contact us if you are interested in being updated on exploratory expeditions or want to travel on dates or to locations that are not available on the website.  Our many years of experience will allow us to custom fit a wilderness adventure to your group.
