British Columbia

Winter in British Columbia is pure adventure—home to world-famous BC skiing destinations like Whistler Blackcomb, Big White, and SilverStar, as well as local-favourite spots like Powder King and Troll, where uncrowded slopes and deep powder awaits. But, show, don’t tell, right? 

Picture skiing the longest t-bar in North America at Murray Ridge. Shredding metre deep powder on a Powder King storm day. Gliding down the slopes with a view of the ocean from Mount Washington Ski Resort. Soaking in steamy Kootenay Hot Springs near SilverStar Ski Resort with snowflakes falling around you. Or gliding across the snowy trails on Big White’s all-time famous dog sled ride.

And it's not just skiing and snowboarding! British Columbia invites you to savour the winter season with activities that range from cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking to après-ski spots and outdoor festivals that light up the winter nights.
