9-Day British Columbia Ski Tour

Get ready for the best skiing on the continent as you meet your expert local guide at your hotel in Kelowna. You will be introduced to the rest of your small and friendly group before being driven a couple of hours North to the lovely mountain town of Revelstoke. Famous for its buzzing social scene and home to the largest vertical drop in North America, you are in for a real treat. The drive will take you through the spectacular cliff lined highway of the 3 Valley Gap and wind past the emerald waters of glacial lakes. After checking in at the hotel you will head out to dinner with your new adventure buddies, cracking open a cold beer and eagerly discussing all the awesome powder coming your way.

After indulging in a hearty breakfast, you will finally get to dive into the alpine playground of Revelstoke. There are enough chutes, slopes and powder bowls to keep you busy for a lifetime, as you fly beneath the tree covered runs and enjoy a panoramic view of Begbie Glacier. After an adrenaline filled day on the slopes you will come back down to earth with a wonderful soak in the local Hot Springs under the open sky and head out for a delicious meal in Revelstoke to prepare you for another day on the snow.

Waking up to the pleasant ache of a good day on the slopes, you will be desperate to get back on the mountain and check out more of the runs. Revelstoke has something for everyone, from the absolute beginner to the seasoned expert, and offers spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies no matter what your experience level. Whether you are flying through the gnarly chutes or gliding down a gentle run, you will be delighted with the natural beauty of this special spot, taking plenty of pictures to capture the skiing vacation of a lifetime.

Leave Revelstoke behind you as you buckle into the van and drive through Roger’s Pass, winding through British Columbia’s spectacular Selkirk Mountains. You will spend the day skiing at Kicking Horse mountain, home to over 120 trails which span nearly 3,500 km of skiable terrain. It has plenty of wide-open bowls, gorgeous tree runs and hair-raising vertical slopes to be explored. Soak in the panoramic views of Dogtooth Range as you reluctantly peel off your ski gear and enjoy a hearty evening meal at one of the many excellent eateries.

Having already scratched the surface of the epic runs of Kicking Horse Mountain, you have another day to immerse yourself in the world class skiing of British Columbia. The downhill runs are ridiculously long at this extraordinary ski resort, so prepare to push yourself to the limit as you ski for longer downhill stretches than you even thought possible. For those wanting to take it easy, there is an excellent system of lifts and gondolas, so you can tailor the experience to your individual needs. Stopping at one of the gorgeous mountain lodges, you can enjoy a panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains with an ice-cold beer – bliss!

You will be relieved to take a soak in the lovely Lussier Hot Springs today, a perfect chance to ease your aches and pains ahead of more epic skiing. You will be treated to a lie in first, then travel South through the picture-perfect Valley of a Thousand Peaks to reach the thermal waters on the shores of Whiteswan River. After kicking back in the natural hot springs, you will be driven to the legendary ski town of Nelson, famous for its friendly vibes and tightly knitted community spirit. There are tonnes of independent coffee shops, restaurants and shops for you to explore, as you enjoy some well earned R and R ahead of another long day on the slopes.

Today you’ll experience Whitewater Ski Resort’s relaxed atmosphere and abundant snow. Explore its playful tree runs and powder-filled terrain as your guides lead you to areas suited to your ability.

Return to Whitewater for your final day on the slopes. Your guides will take you deeper into the resort’s terrain, with opportunities to explore local favourites such as Sproulers and the tree runs of the Backside.

After skiing, unwind with another visit to the hot springs and reflect on your favourite moments from the tour.

After enjoying a much-needed lie in, you will prepare for your onward journey. There are plenty of shuttles from Nelson to Kelowna or Spokane Airport, and your guide will make sure you get safely to the right place. You may want to spend a few more days enjoying the authentic town of Nelson, which is bursting with shops, cafes and eateries. The rest is up to you, as your small and friendly group disperses, and you bid farewell to your lovely guide.
