Ultimate 8-day Powder Highway Ski Safari

The British Columbia Powder Highway Ski Tour will kick off in Kelowna at 2 pm. You will be picked up from either the airport or any hotel before you head out to the Kootenays. Amid snaking through the mountain passes, you will stop at Deadwood Junction for one of the best cinnamon buns ever created. Check into your hotel in Rossland, a quintessential mountain town nestled in the Monashee Mountains.

Propel your energy forth with a fulfilling breakfast and coffee before slipping on your ski or snowboard boots. Travel with your guides to the secret gems peppered through Red Mountain Resort—their expertise includes knowing the best cozy rest spots. Expect to encounter an array of glades, steeps, tree skiing over the vast 4200 acres spanning Red Mountain Resort. After dusting yourself in powder, relish in Rossland’s quirky character and enjoy a memorable après ski session at Rafter’s Bar. Spend the evening relaxing in the hotel’s hot tub, trying out beer at the brewery, and munching on some memorable dishes.

Spend a second day exploring the depths of Red Mountain Resort. Either opt for a more chilled-out ride, followed by relaxing at the woodstove at Paradise Lodge or wind deeper into Red Mountain’s backyard with your guide for secret back bowls away from the crowds. The evening will take you to one of the best local restaurants in town.

Head to Whitewater Ski Resort, where few crowds gather and layers of snowfall. The relatively untouched resort emulates a skiers' or snowboarders' dream—small lift lines and a glistening white sheet of snow. Our guide will unveil the most untrodden places on Whitewater Ski Resort.

Savour another day atop the dreamy, snowy, paradise blanketing Whitewater Ski Resort. Continue today where you left off yesterday: following your guide to hidden, pristine pockets peppered throughout the mountain. The evening hours will have you bathing and recovering in some hot springs near Nelson, where a steamy cave awaits.

Travel from the ever-so dreamy Whitewater Ski Resort to the favoured Fernie Alpine Resort, where five bowls and one stand-out peak lay coated in snow. Avid snowboarders and skiers can’t help but flock here because Fernie experiences one of the largest yearly snowfalls in Canada. Spend the day exploring treasured spots with your guide followed by revelling in an après ski before checking into your hotel. After you’re settled, you will venture out for some gourmet dishes.

Spend the last day on the slopes discovering runs you didn’t encounter yesterday. Thankfully, Fernie Alpine Resort spans several acres, so you’ll have plenty of new runs to explore. Marvel at the panoramic view of the Lizard Range while you break for lunch. Cap off the final day by celebrating the memorable week you spent zigzagging through epic Canadian scenery.

Soak up the last few hours of mountain scenery as you wind through remote mining towns and valleys on our journey to Calgary. Expect to get dropped off in Calgary by 2 pm. You can be taken to any hotel or airport in the city. If you want to book a flight, aim to book for any time after 4 pm.
