Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

Turnkey touring kit

The rental comes with K2 touring skis, poles, skins and boots—everything you need for efficient uphill travel and lightweight descents, supplied for the 24-hour rental window.

THE TIMING

A focused 24-hour window

This package is structured as a single 24-hour rental period, designed for self-guided movement across a short, intensive outing rather than a multi-day itinerary.

THE SAFETY NOTE

Bring your avalanche kit

Avalanche safety gear—beacon, probe and shovel—is not included; you must supply your own avalanche equipment to travel safely in backcountry terrain.

What the day feels like

What the 24 hours feel like

You pick up a full K2 touring kit and carry it into Lake Louise’s alpine frame, moving under your own plan across a condensed 24-hour rental. The package is intentionally self-directed: it equips your movement but leaves route choice, timing and backcountry safety to you.
