We love nature experiences and Canada has always been high up on our “bucket list”, simply because we believe that the Rocky Mountains are one of the best off-piste mountains in the world. Most people have heard of “champagne powder snow” and that is exactly what Canada offer us.

We have been arranging trips to Canada for the past 5 years with great success. We have collaborated with a local mountain guide, who both make sure that we get around on the country roads, but also up in the mountains. We will visit 4 of our all time favourite areas along The Powder Highway.

Take a road trip on Canada’s famous “Powder Highway” in our favorite areas and experience world-class skiing. For 11 days we drive in a minivan to our favorite areas for off-piste skiing. Our off-piste road trip in Canada is for you who want to try the famous Canadian champagne powder snow and experience some of Canada’s fun and slightly different ski resorts. Read more…

Overview

We meet at Calgary Airport and go directly to Fernie, where our road trip begins. Fernie, with five world-class “bowls”, hot springs and endlessly fascinating mountains and nature, is one of North America’s most popular ski areas. Later we go on to Kimberley, which is a new area we have added to our road trip.

WhiteWater at Nelson is our next stop. It is a fun hippie town known as a “Nirvana” for all off-piste fans and a “must do” ski area. WhiteWater is also known for not having as many guests, so you have all the off-piste to yourself. Depending on the snow conditions and what our mountain guide thinks is the best, we may be able to take a detour to the old mining town of Red Mountain. The area is known for its varied terrain, all below the tree line.

The journey now continues to Revelstoke, which is at an altitude of 512 meters but has the highest point at 2225 meters. Revelstoke is known for its pristine “bowls”, which are optimal for off-piste hungry skiers and snowboarders. In Revelstoke there is the possibility of both heli-ski and cat-ski if you want to go all-in.

The last stop is Kicking Horse, which is known for its absolutely stunning scenery. They want to be the best ski area along the Powder Highway, and we must say they have succeeded.

Then the journey goes again towards Calgary.

If we become more than 6 people, we will have one more mountain guide to join us (he/she is english speaking). In total, there is room for a maximum of 12 people on this trip.

In-bounds/ Out-bounds

In Canada, a distinction is made between in- and out-bounds. In-bounds cover an entire area, piste as well as off-piste, which mountain guides ensure safe from avalanches every day. Out-bounds are located outside the areas that the mountain guides take care of. We will mainly be on slopes within the borders (in-bound).

Location and accommodation

It is no wonder that it is called “Powder Highway”, since every year, the areas along the Powder Highway get over 10 meters of snow. The snow is usually drier and more airy than the one we know from the Alps, and because of that it is also mentioned as “Champagne Powder snow”.

On the trip we will be in the ski resorts: Fernie, WhiteWater, Revelstoke and Kicking Horse.

Accommodation:
We stay at various motels located along our journey. All nights are in a double room with two single beds (2 separate beds).

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.

Incredibly wonderful trip with amazing people !!

Without comparison the wildest skiing experience I have ever had. In addition to fantastic and varied skiing conditions, the nature experience was completely unsurpassed. All four areas we visited are in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, so transportation is also a pleasure – the wild and rugged Canadian landscape and wildlife make for a perfect landscape for skiing and transportation.

This is definitely not the last time I get to know Canadian nature and skiing.

Roadtrip in Canada / British Columbia is without comparison on two of five of my best and most fun ski trips. The snow is super good and all the ski areas we visited are super cool. They are designed in such a way that you get a lot of slopes with a little effort – absolutely fantastic. During a good powder day, Canada can undoubtedly offer snow that can be compared to what is usually found in Japan.

The trip was generally super well planned, and that meant we got more out of all the travel days. Five big stars from here!
