In the afternoon, we'll pick you up in Kelowna – either directly from your hotel, the bus station, or the airport, whichever you prefer. After a brief introduction, we'll all board the van and head north. Our first stop is the rustic mountain town of Revelstoke (approximately a 2-hour drive). Along the way, you'll travel along a scenic mountain road lined with cliffs and past shimmering alpine lakes. A highlight is passing through Three Valley Gap, a former gold rush town that now exudes a unique atmosphere as a ghost town with abandoned buildings. Once in Revelstoke, you can settle into your hotel. In the evening, we'll have dinner together – or you can take the opportunity to explore this charming town on your own.

After a hearty breakfast, your skiing adventure begins at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Here you'll find the longest lift-served run in all of North America, with an incredible 1,713 vertical meters! A truly unique feature: only here can you choose between lift-assisted, cat-skiing, backcountry, and heli-skiing, all at one location. The resort offers over 3,000 hectares of diverse terrain – from high-alpine bowl valleys and tree runs to perfectly groomed slopes. During your runs, you'll be treated to fantastic views of the Begbie Glacier, the Arrow Lakes on the Columbia River, and endless tree lines. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner in Revelstoke. On the second evening, a very special experience awaits: a trip to the Halcyon Hot Springs at Upper Arrow Lake. Float in the warm waters (up to 40°C) under the starry sky and recharge for the next day of skiing.

You'll spend the next two days at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, nestled in the Purcell Mountains. With over 120 runs across nearly 3,500 hectares of ski area, there's something for every level – from beginner to expert. The resort is particularly famous for its feather-light "Champagne Powder" – dry, fluffy powder snow, of which the region receives an average of 18 meters per season. A true paradise for winter sports enthusiasts! Take the Golden Eagle Express Gondola to the summit and enjoy spectacular 360° views of the snow-covered mountains and five surrounding national parks. Once you reach the top, another highlight awaits: a meal at the renowned Eagle's Eye, Canada's highest restaurant at 2,350 meters – with breathtaking panoramic views.

Today you'll continue south through the Valley of a Thousand Peaks, also known as the Rocky Mountain Trench – so vast it's said to be visible from the moon. Along the way, you'll stop at the Lussier Hot Springs. Located right on the Whiteswan River, these natural hot springs are the perfect opportunity to relax tired muscles after a day of skiing – with fantastic views of the river and gorge. In the evening, you'll arrive in Nelson, also known as the "Queen City." The city owes its name to the magnificently restored buildings from the silver rush era. Despite having only about 10,000 inhabitants, it boasts nearly 80 restaurants, numerous cafes, and many small shops. You'll stay three nights in this charming town – perfect for culinary exploration!

These days take you to Whitewater Ski Resort, famous for its spectacular tree skiing on Ymir Mountain (2,400 m). Dry, powdery snow attracts winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world. Another highlight: the Fresh Tracks Café at 1,645 m, world-renowned for its fresh and creative cuisine, which has even been featured in four international best-selling cookbooks. A true culinary delight right in the heart of the ski area! In the evenings, you can relax in hot springs again – this time at Ainsworth Hot Springs. Nestled in the Kootenay Mountains, they offer mineral-rich water and breathtaking scenery.

Early in the morning, you leave Nelson and drive to Rossland, your home for the next two nights. Here, the legendary Red Mountain Ski Resort awaits, one of the oldest ski resorts in North America with a history dating back to 1900. The resort is considered a "beast" among freeride areas – over 1,600 additional hectares of new terrain on Mount Grey provide even more variety. Whether you prefer narrow forest runs, wide slopes, rock formations, couloirs, or easy pistes – you'll find everything a skier's heart desires. And the best part: no matter which direction you ski, you'll always end up at a lift. After action-packed runs, you can refuel right at the bottom of the slopes with a cold beer and a hot meal.

After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye. Together we'll travel back to Kelowna – the journey takes about five hours. You'll be dropped off at your hotel, the bus station, or the airport around 2 pm. Please plan your onward travel accordingly.
