Our Terrain

For over three decades we have been skiing and boarding in the heart of BC's interior mountains. Our ski area is unlike any other, with our tenure bordering both Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks. Once you experience skiing through wide-open glaciers, alpine meadows and massive old-growth forests, you will understand why our heli-skiing territory is one of the most famous in the world. We ski both the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains which are renowned for their reliable powder snow conditions and unique terrain features. Our tenure has over 200 established runs with countless options for exploring this powder playground we proudly call our backyard.

The world's best tree skiing is found in our 500,000 acres of terrain, due to specific climatic conditions, species of trees, and consistent heavy snowfalls. Most of our skiing takes place below 3,000 metres (9,850 ft). Runs vary from 500 vertical metres in length to over 2,200 vertical metres.

In the Columbia Mountains, snow means powder. Our tenure receives an average of 40 to 60 feet  (12 to 18 metres) of snowfall per year. Snow starts falling in September, serving up early season turns in December and fresh powder until April. Average temperatures at the tree line are about -7°C (20°F), but during cold spells it can reach as low as -30°C (-18°F).

Exploring new terrain is one of the most exhilarating components of skiing and snowboarding.  Our massive tenure provides endless opportunities to discover new areas.  Last year our guides, along with past owner Peter Schlunegger, revealed one of the four new runs that guests were able to ski for the first time.  Even after 32 years of exploring the tenure, Peter was able to claim another first during his ski visit with us.  We look forward to seeking out new runs to ski with our guests this year.
