Whispering Pines Ski Hill is Northern Alberta’s Best Kept Secret!

Whispering Pines Ski Hill is considered one of Northern Alberta’s premier hills —for good reason.
A short, scenic 200-kilometre drive from Grande Prairie, this ski hill offers exceptional hospitality, impeccable maintained runs and dramatic scenery. There are 17 runs, 1 chair lift, 1 conveyer, 1 T-Bar, rental shop and ski school. The wide variety of terrain provides excellent skiing and snowboarding for all skill levels. Take a break in-between riding and warm up in their day lodge and enjoy a delicious hot meal. Or sit in the upper chalet and and enjoy a picturesque view of the ski hill. Whatever you do make sure you get your hands on one of their epic cinnamon buns. Visitors travel far and wide to get their hands on these cinnamon buns. Keep an eye out while on the hill for local wildlife friends crossing the coniferous tree-bordered runs. It’s not unusual to come across a deer, moose or even a fox.

Specializing in a wide range of species, Mike’s Outfitting offers guided hunts for Black Bear, Moose, Elk, Mule Deer, and Whitetail Deer. Options include both bow and rifle hunts, such as black bear bow hunts, elk and moose bow hunts, mule deer and whitetail hunts, and moose rifle hunts giving hunters the flexibility to choose the experience that suits them best.

All hunts take place in the diverse and game-rich landscapes of the Peace River Valley, combining accessible farmland with expansive boreal forest. With extensive preseason scouting and a knowledgeable team of experienced guides including Mike himself, hunters benefit from high success rates and well-planned outings. Many hunts are designed to be accessible for those with varying levels of physical ability, making this an ideal experience for both seasoned and first-time hunters.

At the core of Mike’s Outfitting is a commitment to honesty, personalized service, and delivering on every promise—working closely with each client to create a memorable and rewarding hunt.

“I hunted with Mike because of his track record of consistently putting hunters on huge deer. Due to extensive preseason scouting, Mike and his guides had located bucks they believed would be ‘shooters’—and they weren’t wrong. I shot the biggest buck I’d ever taken, and saw that even bigger deer are possible. A future hunt awaits me for one of those bucks.”
