Slocan Backcountry Skiing

The Best Ski Touring You've Never Heard About
Slocan backcountry skiing is some of the finest skiing you’ll find on the Powder Highway. We get consistent snowfall through out the winter and there is an excellent variety of terrain, from well spaced trees to incredible alpine features. The Village of Slocan is nestled at the south end of Slocan Lake between the Valhalla, Kokanee Glacier and Goat Range Provincial Parks. We hold permits to operate commercially within them.
Small group ski touring and private guiding
Our Slocan backcountry skiing and splitboarding program delivers a unique and personalized experience. We work with local lodging establishments to provide comfortable accommodations for our groups.
Basing out of Slocan is a step away from the bustle of busy ski towns like Revelstoke or Nelson; there is no scene and there are no crowds. But there is a restaurant and the village market where you can get groceries. What we do have is tons of untracked powder. For groups who really want to kick back and relax after skiing, we can provide catering as well.
Depending upon the experience you seek, we can access touring zones along the highway or via snowmobile. Groups can choose to bring their own sleds or we can provide them for you.
This is a highly customizable package so please contact us for details and pricing!
