Trip Rating: Intermediate to Advanced Skiers- Groomed and Backcountry trails
Basecamp: British Columbia and Alberta, Canada oh Canada
Ski both sides of the Continental Divide in British Columbia and Alberta, at Kootenay, Yoho, and Banff National Parks, and the provincial parks of the Kananaskis Range, on groomed and backcountry trails through stunning mountain terrain.
We will stop in Coeur d’Alene the first night, then arrive for a two-night stay at Nipika Mountain Resort inside Kootenay NP, the second day. We’ll ski from our large Nipika cabin for two days, then head across the Divide to ski a gorgeous alpine cirque in Yoho NP, before arriving at our comfy 4BR, 4 bath townhouse just outside Banff National Park.
From there, we will enjoy seven days of skiing, as well as the amenities of Canmore, a great Rocky Mountain ski town. One highlight, (if conditions allow) will be the 18km downhill tour through the gorgeous Goat Creek and Spray River valleys from Canmore to Banff, where we will park shuttle cars at the hot springs pools of Banff Springs Hotel. We have the option of skiing groomed trails at the nearby Canmore Nordic Centre, the 60 km groomed Nordic venue of the Calgary Olympics.
