Northern British Columbia

Want to know what you are in for when you #SkiNorthBC? Just search the tag to see that thousands have shared their stories about the opportunities in communities like Smithers or Quesnel. The region is home to a huge menu of winter experiences, including Hudson Bay Mountain Resort (rent a cabin and stay slopeside), Murray Ridge (Fort St James where you can snowshoe around their historic fort), Troll Ski Resort outside of Wells, B.C. (head for a backcountry adventure with WhiteGold Adventures).

Have you visited Powder Town yet? Two hours north of Prince George is the home of legendary powder.

Powder turns that kick up snow over your head can be found at Powder King Resort. And you can pair that adventure with a snowshoe through Northern B.C.’s Ancient Forest. It’s got the making of a road trip you will never forget.
