If skiing is like gliding on water, than skiing Whitewater Ski Resort is like going off Niagara Falls in a barrel… NAKED. This place gets big dumps and that’s why we love it! Ski endless tree runs that were seemingly hand crafted by the shred gods to delight you with every turn.

Day 5
Ski Whitewater
1 stop

Another glutinous day of skiing pow through picture perfect trees. It’s so quiet here that your heartbeat is almost deafening when you stop and wait for your buds. Nelson is home to a ton of hipsters and hippies, so the dining is pretty legendary with farm to table restaurants, pubs, breweries, and “Boho” diners on every corner. Enjoy some free time exploring the town!

Day 6
Ski Red Mountain
1 stop
6
This morning we head 1.5 hours to Rossland, home of Red Mountain, home of freeskiing in Canada. Seriously.. this is where it all began. The terrain begs you to let loose and get the powder flowing over your ears as you rip through rolling meadow after rolling meadow of under-rated and seldom shredded pow! No one seems to know how amazing this place is, which is our little secret.

Another day of paradise as we ski the trees, bowls and open slopes of Red Mountain. Enjoy lunch on the sunny deck of Paradise Lodge, and finish off the day with a local beer in Rafter’s Bar, which has a legendary status in ski literature.

Day 8
Ski Revelstoke
1 stop

Revelstoke
When early Swiss mountaineers surveyed the railway, a lot of them settled in Revelstoke, creating a ski hill. It was the massive mountain and the bottomless snow that attracted them here over a century ago, and it’s the same attraction to this day. Spend the day skiing the multiple alpine bowls, hiking to secret runs off Subpeak and exploring hidden away tree lines to runs with naughty local names. Spend the night exploring Revelstokeon your own with some great restaurant recommendations

Day 9
Ski Revelstoke
1 stop
9
Revelstoke
Revelstoke has far too much terrain to conquer in one day so we have another day to take a crack at it. You’ll love the snow and the views, but you might not love the run “Kill the Banker” so much. We will see how you fare! Sample some local beer while boasting to the others in the group about all the air you got when they weren’t looking.

Day 10
Ski Kicking Horse
1 stop

This morning we wake up bright and early and hit the road through Rogers Pass for Kicking Horse. Rogers Pass is an incredible place to travel through, with majestic peaks in all directions and over 140 avalanche paths that affect the highway and railway. Hopefully the peaks turn orange at sunrise! Once we get to Kicking Horse the real fun begins. We have spent the last 8 days getting you ready for the unbelievable alpine terrain at this behemoth of a mountain. Hike with your guide to Terminator Peaks for some sneaky lines, or elsewhere to secret runs that we can’t even name on here!
