A low sun slants across a field of blue ice as you step from the warmth of the wall tent into the open at Mt Sima. Towering columns of poured ice rise like frozen ropes, glinting in the clear Yukon air; the zipline hums above as guides clip you in and the smell of spruce smoke drifts from the campfire. Here, winter insists on movement and rewards boldness — a day of climbing, short runs, and close-up exploration.
moderate.
2 hours.
Moderate: able to handle stairs and short bursts of exertion for vertical movement; good balance helps.
No — the guides teach basic ice-climbing techniques and supervise all climbs; participants should be reasonably mobile and comfortable on icy terrain.
All technical gear (crampons, harness, helmet, ice tools, and climbing boots) is provided; bring compatible warm boots if you prefer your own.
Temps vary widely; the operator cancels for unsafe weather and offers full refunds at least 24 hours prior per their policy — always check the day's forecast and dress warmly.
Families are welcome, but operators limit groups and assess each child’s ability; disclose ages at booking and follow guide recommendations for safety.
The Mt Sima site is part of winter recreation history for Whitehorse and sits on lands long used and stewarded by the Kwanlin Dün and Ta’an Kwäch’än peoples.
Operators promote Leave No Trace in fragile winter zones; avoid trampling vegetation under snow and pack out waste to protect the short subarctic growing season.
