British Columbia’s world-famous Powder Highway lies between the Monashee, Selkirk, Purcell and Kootenay mountain ranges in eastern B.C., near the border with Alberta and the United States.
The area is renowned for having the highest concentration of ski resorts in the world, as well as dozens of backcountry cat-ski and heli-ski operators. These locations annually receive huge quantities of champagne dust, characteristic of B.C., from which the region takes its name. This smooth, dry snow creates the perfect conditions for snowboarding and most locations on the Powder Highway receive up to 80 feet of snow in a season.
We will tear through about 1000 km of incredible landscapes that are worth seeing once in a lifetime!

Today, we do not have a set schedule, so you can decide whether to snowboard, take a mid-week break, visit the town of Nelson, or explore the surrounding area.
