9-Day Powder Highway Ski Safari

Spend some time getting to know the other skiers and snowboarders on this tour after you will be picked up from your hotel located in Calgary’s downtown core between 3:30 and 4 pm. Marvel at the Canadian Rockies standing tall, like a painting, in the backdrop as you drive two hours west to Banff. After checking into your hotel, enjoy cheerful chatter, over a hearty meal, discussing the upcoming journey.

Start the day by filling your body with a satiating breakfast at a cafe before slipping into your ski or snowboard boots! Spend the next several hours gliding through the canopy of white powder spanning Lake Louise Ski Resort. Warm your body up on some green or blue runs before increasing your intensity—and be sure to look out for the ever-so stunning Victoria Glacier. Cap off your day with some refreshing (or warming) beverages and a delicious meal.

Feeling a little crazy? Bask in the freeride vibes dotting Sunshine Village! Let your guide lead you to the best rugged, adrenaline-inducing slopes spanning this resort. Those looking for a gentle ride can find a plethora of options at Sunshine Village, too. After enjoying a group meal, you will head to Sulphur Mountain Hot Springs for a relaxing evening—feel free to entertain the group by renting and donning a unitard-style bathing suit!

Another day, another ride! Condition-depending, you will spend the day ripping it up at either Lake Louise or Sunshine Village. If you want to explore somewhere new, there is the option to enjoy some solo laps near Norquay. Replenish your body with a dish at one of the iconic restaurants in Banff before soothing your muscles in the hot tub at your hotel.

Let the mountain ranges and rock faces envelop you on your journey from Banff to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden. Shake off the short drive by hitting the slopes! Encounter an array of chutes and alpine bowls during your exploration of the mountain. Finish your day with a once-in-a-lifetime mountain top dining experience at the ever-so coveted Eagle’s Eye Restaurant.

Enjoy another day zigzagging through the light, fluffy powder on Kicking Horse Mountain. Your guide will search out the best skiing, aiming to score an untouched powder run for the group. Enjoy floating on champagne powder, just like heli-skiing—but with the addition of a steaming, heartwarming meal waiting for you in one of Golden’s historic log cabins at the bottom of the slope.

Travel deeper into the Columbia Mountains, through Rogers Pass, which has been fighting off avalanches for over a hundred years. After around two hours of driving (traffic dependant), get ready for an adventurous day at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Behind the quaint, winter wonderland resort town, you’ll encounter alpine bowls, moguls, tree skiing, glades, and groomed runs for those craving a more chilled-out experience. Keep in mind that Revelstoke has the highest vertical drop in all of North America. Enjoy a relaxing evening eating one of Revelstoke’s best restaurants and bathing in the hot tub at the hotel.

Become more acquainted with the moguls, open bowls, and the peaceful off-trail runs through lanes of trees spanning Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Cheers to a victorious ride after snowboarding or skiing down 5400 feet to reach the bar at the end of the day. In the evening, you will travel to some hot springs by ferry for a rewarding, soothing soak. Our day will conclude with a feast at Kingfisher Restaurant.

Celebrate the last nine days with a delicious breakfast at a cafe before journeying to Kelowna. Expect another scenic journey complete with glistening lakes and valley vibes.
