Road trip | Canada
Join us on a road trip through Canada along the Powder Highway – world-class powder and off-piste skiing, all in one trip.
Book nowCanada has always been high on our bucket list – and for good reason. The Rocky Mountains are one of the best mountain ranges in the world for off-piste skiing, and “Champagne Powder” didn’t get its reputation by accident.
On this trip we take you on a road trip along the Powder Highway, visiting five of our favourite areas: Kicking Horse, Revelstoke, Red Mountain, Whitewater and Fernie.
We keep the group small and have local guides with us throughout – making sure everything runs smoothly on the road and that we find the best lines in the mountains across our 10 ski days.
This isn’t just a destination. It’s a journey through some of Canada’s greatest ski areas.
Come join us for a proper adventure.

The Powder Highway in British Columbia is known for its consistent snow conditions and large amounts of light, dry powder – often referred to as “champagne powder.”
On this trip we pass through some of the best ski areas in the region, each with its own character:
- Fernie: known for its open bowls and heavy snowfall
- Whitewater (Nelson): a quieter area with deep, consistent snow
- Red Mountain (Rossland): varied terrain with a classic freeride feel
- Revelstoke: long runs and big vertical drop
- Kicking Horse: more alpine and technically challenging terrain
What all these areas have in common is incredible off-piste skiing and far fewer people than many other destinations.

Canada has long been on my wish list when it comes to off-piste skiing. Having a skilled guide with you on the entire trip is just so good and super efficient. He took us along the off-piste routes that we would never otherwise have been in, while always having 100% control over safety.
Personally, I liked Revelstoke the most, but it was also where we had the best snow.
The trip can definitely be recommended if you want to see some of the best off-piste areas near Calgary.
