Discover BC’s outstanding champagne powder on this guided ski trip
Make the most out of your ski holiday on this spectacular ski safari to the world-famous slopes of Revelstoke, Kicking Horse and Whitewater. Explore the world-famous BC Powder at some of the snowiest ski resorts in all of Canada as you explore the epic Champagne powder of British Columbia under the guidance of your expert local guide.
You will side-step overcrowded resorts and ski with friendly local people, gliding down the awesome tree runs and pushing yourself to the limit in the countless chutes, bowls and vertical drops that the Rockies have to offer.
There is something for everyone on this 9-day British Columbia Ski Tour, which caters for both enthusiastic beginner skiers and seasoned pros looking to take things to a whole new level. When you aren’t playing in the 40-foot powder on the countless trails of the Rocky Mountains, you will be dining in award winning restaurants, soaking in hot tubs and relaxing in the quirky bars and coffee shops of the friendly mountain towns. Let the adventure begin!
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 kilometres 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.
You will wake up feeling fresh and energised after your day off (unless you had too much fun in the buzzing local bars of course). Either way, it is time to get back on your skis and dive headfirst into the awesome pistes of Whitewater. This amazing ski resort isn’t overcrowded with tourists but has a dependable 40 foot of snow each season and some nail-biting tree runs to keep you on your toes. Their award-winning restaurants offer something for everyone, from gourmet cuisine to comforting classics. After warming up with a good meal and glass of wine, you will visit Ainsworth Hot Springs for another soak in the delightful thermal waters of British Columbia.
Today is your final day of skiing in the Rocky Mountains, so make the most out of every minute! Don’t forget to take some photos of the panoramic views, with the magnificent peak of Ymir Mountain towering high in the sky above you. You guide will help you choose the runs that are just right for your experience level, making sure you leave no stone of Whitewater uncovered and ensuring you have the perfect day to remember the Rockies by. You will be amazed by the bravery of the local people, who fly through the scariest chutes and moguls of Whitewater like they are navigating a nursery slope. It will be hard to leave this wonderful corner of the world, but you can hit the town one last time to make sure you say goodbye in style.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
