#NOTRACKSNOPEOPLE
Canada is more than just a ski and snowboard destination, it's a pilgrimage and a rite of passage for all riders. People from all over the world know the reputation Canada has as being the biggest and best, It's that good! But where do you begin if it's your first time? It can be an overwhelming task to organize the "best trip ever" when you find out that the choices are many and your time is limited. The skiing in Canada is so diverse, and the area so vast, that each mountain range has its own snow characteristics and weather patterns. It would be the equivalent of lumping all of the mountain ranges in Scandinavia, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe together. With over 700 000 km² of terrain to explore it can be intimidating to plan a cost effective trip that guarantees that you don't miss a thing. You can come back over and over again and never ski the same thing twice. Cut out the immense task of planning the logistics, the reservations, and the costs. We've done all the hard work so you can sit back and enjoy the adventure. The ideal time to ski here begins in February. The snowpack has had a few months to develop and the avalanche hazard is easier to manage. The daylight is also longer giving us more time in the day to achieve bigger objectives.
Your Guides
Certified and Experienced
All our guides are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) or equivalent associations internationally recognized through the IFMGA. Their rigorous training in avalanche safety, navigation, and client care ensures your backcountry adventure is safe, personalized, and unforgettable.
We understand that venturing into the backcountry can feel daunting, especially for those new to this terrain. Our guides are not only experts in navigation and safety but also in fostering confidence and efficiency among our guests. If you are a fit, an intermediate skier or snowboarder, capable of handling deep powder, then you are an ideal candidate for this trip.
We schedule our Guides roughly 3-4 month before the trip start date. As soon as we have the Guide scheduled to your trip they will reach out and introduce themselves. Usually via Whatsapp. Please make sure you have Whatsapp.
Accommodation
Always close to town center
Accommodations – Road Trips
Throughout our Powder Highway, Ultimate Road Trip, and Glacier Highway adventures, we stay in carefully selected hotels along the route from Revelstoke to Calgary (and occasionally Whistler).
These are comfortable, mid-range accommodations chosen for their convenience and location—perfect for recovering from long days in the mountains.
Each hotel is close to the heart of town, so you can stretch your legs, grab a coffee, or explore on foot. They’re always near great restaurants, making it easy to enjoy a meal out with the group or sneak off for some solo downtime.
While the default setup works great for most of our trips, there’s always room to upgrade if you’re booking as a private group and want something a little more upscale. Let us know your vibe, and we’ll make it work.
Prices include double occupancy. We can upgrade you to single occupancy upon request for an additional upgrade fee.
Final Night in Vancouver
After an epic journey through British Columbia’s mountains, we finish in one of the most beautiful cities in the world—Vancouver. We stay close to the downtown core, so you can enjoy a last evening out, grab a great meal, and soak in some west coast vibes before heading home. Whether you’re craving sushi, a microbrew, or a stroll along the waterfront, this is your chance to cap off the trip in style. The hotel is comfortable and central, with easy access to both restaurants and the airport.
The Food
What is better... the skiing or the food? We'll let you decide.
Meals
Canada may be known for its powder and peaks, but don’t underestimate the food scene—it’s full of surprises. After long days on the skin track, we wind down each evening with a relaxed group dinner at one of the many local gems along our route. These meals are a highlight in their own right, offering everything from slow-roasted meats and west coast seafood to mountain-town comfort food and craft beer brewed just down the road.
One thing that always catches people off guard? The burgers. Seriously—Canada does burgers better than you’d expect. Whether it’s a locally raised bison burger in Golden or a double smash patty with secret sauce in Fernie, there’s something about the mix of quality beef, house-made buns, and regional twists that makes them stand out.
We tailor our dining stops to each town, blending casual brewery nights with the occasional more refined wine-paired dinner—especially as we roll into spring in places like Kelowna. Meals are social, satisfying, and a great way to trade stories and reconnect before the next big day in the mountains.
It is imperative that we know about all serious food allergies well in advance of our trip so that we can plan restaurants accordingly.
Wine Tour
A Break from the Boots: Wine Tasting in the Okanagan
We know where to sip
Nestled in the heart of British Columbia’s wine country, Kelowna offers a surprising and welcome contrast to the powder-filled peaks of the Ultimate Road Trip. With over 40 wineries within a short drive of the city, the Okanagan Valley is one of Canada’s premier wine regions—known for its crisp whites, bold reds, and laid-back lakeside charm.
Stopping in Kelowna midway through the journey provides the perfect opportunity to give the legs a rest and treat the senses to something completely different. If the group desires, we can trade skins for stemware and take a guided wine tasting tour through sun-kissed vineyards and architecturally stunning cellars. Each stop offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship behind every bottle—paired with panoramic views and the chance to unwind.
Wine tours typically last a few hours and include transportation, tastings, and a scenic stop or two for photos. While it’s an optional add-on, it often becomes a standout memory from the trip—sitting on a terrace in early spring, wine glass in hand, watching the sun dip below the vines with snow still visible on the distant peaks.
Like our approach to everything on this trip, we know the local spots and work with wineries that welcome our vibe: relaxed, authentic, and always up for good conversation.
