Equipment rentals, transport, lessons and accommodation will all be taken care of by your expert guide so you can focus on the long days of adrenaline-packed skiing and leave the boring details in the capable hands of a seasoned local.
Depending on your arrival plans, you will get picked up by your guide at your hotel, the airport or a bus station in Kelowna. After meeting the rest of your small and friendly group you will be driven North in the van to the traditional mountain town of Revelstoke. The drive will take around 2 hours so you will have plenty of time to get to know your group as you pass by the glowing waters of alpine lakes and beneath the dizzying cliffs of the 3 Valley Gap highway. After checking into your hotel for the evening you can either head to dinner with the group or explore the eateries independently, whatever you prefer.
Get ready for an incredible day on the powder as you set off for your first day of skiing in the high mountains. You can expect world-class skiing today as you explore the chutes, headwalls and pillow lines of the slopes. Carving a route beneath the trees, you can descend the infamous ‘’Last Spike’’ to catch a spectacular view of the Begbie Glacier. After a delightfully exhausting day on the slopes, you will return to town to replenish your energy with a hearty dinner and a visit to the local hot springs. Let your aches and pains melt away as you lay back in the soothing water beneath the starry sky.
Prepare to hit the slopes for another wonderful day of world-class skiing. You will ski on the breathtaking slopes of Revelstoke today, a dream destination for snow worshippers all over the world. If you are prepared for a challenging hike up to Mackenzie Peak, you can push yourself to the limits on adrenaline-packed descent of ‘’Mania’’ and ‘’Discipline’’. After an unforgettable day on the mountain you will savour every bite of your well-earned meal in Revelstoke town.
You will set off for a new skiing adventure today, as you travel through Roger’s pass on your journey to Golden. Enjoy the scenic drive as you gaze at the majestic mountain peaks. On arrival you will take a gondola to the summit of Kicking Horse where you will be delighted by panoramic views of spectacular natural beauty. The Kicking Horse is rich in beginner and expert terrain alike, so there is something for everyone at this unique skiing location. Whether you want to have a peaceful day of gentle runs or attack the nail-biting chutes and tree runs of the mountain, it is sure to be a day to remember.
There is enough awesome skiing at Kicking Horse to keep you busy for a lifetime. With that in mind, you will spend a second day exploring the incredible slopes, enjoying breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies as you lose all sense of time and live every moment of the snow in high definition. Adrenaline junkies can hike beyond the lift system for an epic backcountry adventure whilst the easy-going traveller can hit the Eagle Eye Lodge to kick back with a cold beer at the summit of the gorgeous mountain.
After a pretty intense introduction to the British Columbia ski scene, your sympathetic guide will treat you to a bit of a lie in today. Prepare to head South, as you take a scenic road trip through the Valley of a Thousand Peaks. You will stop off for a dip in the Lussier Hot Springs, soaking in the healing waters right on the shores of the Whiteswan River. Later, you will head to Kootenay Pass to reach the legendary town of Nelson. This wonderful community is a hotspot for laid back cafes, quirky shops and famous for its chilled-out vibes. You will explore the local gems at your leisure, before hitting the slopes again the following day.
Nelson may be famous for its eateries and buzzing nightlife, but it is equally well known for its extraordinarily steep tree skiing. After hurtling down the epic slopes of ‘’Backside’’ and ‘’Sproulers’’ you can collapse into a comfy chair and tuck into the exceptional lodge food that Whitewater has to offer, voted some of the best skiing cuisines in the world. After pushing your tired legs to the limit, you will be glad to take a soak at Ainsworth Hot Springs where you can recharge your batteries for all the wonderful skiing that is still to come.
Having dipped your toes into the brilliant skiing that Whitewater has to offer, you will be raring to go for another day of carving it up on the stunning mountain slopes. Watch the trees fly past as you hurtle down the rugged slopes, before soaking up a little mountain sun with a glass of wine and perfect view of the fearless locals navigating the steepest moguls with ease. Enjoy a lively dinner in a buzzing local eatery, with plenty of wonderful dining options waiting to be discovered.
Red Mountain is calling, so it will be an early morning start to one of the best skiing areas in the world. The excellent network of lifts combined with top-class mountain skiing make this an unmissable location for skiers on a trip to North America. You can expect a mixture of open ridges, gnarly chutes, epic cliff lines and tree-covered slopes as well as some easier laid-back slopes for the less confident members of the group. You will enjoy a hearty meal in Rossland where you can unwind over great food and even better company.
Every muscle in your body must be aching now, but you have one last day to immerse yourself in the spectacular skiing of Red Mountain, which has just added a further 1600 acres of new terrain to its resort. The mountain demands your full attention but don’t forget to take a couple of pictures to make your friends and family green with envy. Enjoy one last meal with your newfound friends, reminiscing on all the awesome adventures that you have just experienced.
Your epic skiing adventure has sadly come to an end. Treat yourself to an extra special breakfast before loading up in the van for the 5-hour drive back to Kelowna. After exploring the slopes of 4 unique mountain locations, you are sure to drift off to sleep in the van and the journey will be over in no time. You will be dropped at your hotel, the airport or the bus stop in Kelowna by 2pm, where you will bid your sad farewells to your lovely group and guide before heading out for you onward travel plans.

I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.
Melinda S.
I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!
Mikael V.
My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!
Eric S.
Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.
Valeria R.
I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
