About
This conservancy was established in 2008, initially under the name of Sea to Sky Conservancy 1, as an outcome of the Sea to Sky and Resource Management Plan approved the same year. In 2009, it was renamed Callaghan Conservancy.
The Callaghan Valley is a year-round backcountry recreation area with winter being its primary activity season. It is also the home of the 2010 Winter Olympics Nordic sports venue (Whistler Olympic Park) for cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping and Nordic combined.
Callaghan Conservancy receives an average snow pack of 275 centimetres, which may yield 150 days of skiing. The rolling subalpine terrain with interspersed meadows in the upper valley near Conflict Lake is well suited to Nordic Skiing. The steeper slopes offer telemark and alpine ski touring and heli-skiing opportunities.
Western sections of the conservancy are a main travel and activity area for skilled, experienced snowmobilers. The area is accessed from the south via the adjacent Brandywine Recreation (snowmobile) Trail. Lodging type(s) on file: Cabins and huts.
