ULTIMATE Powder Highway Safari (Part 2)
Step into a winter world of mountains as far as the eye can see, towering spruce trees buried under a heavy blanket of snow, and everything silent as the falling snow muffles all sound. As your tips dig through the snow you throw a big turn between two trees, coming to a stop and catching your breath. In the distance you hear the delighted yelp of another skier, and then your buddy pulls up next to you, gasping for air and grinning from ear to ear. This is winter in the Kootenays, and this guided ski/ snowboard tour is
your chance to live every snow lover’s dream. Welcome aboard your trip of a lifetime, where you will spend
eight days exploring deep into the mountains of British Columbia. This is the home of
Red Mountain,
Whitewater and
Fernie Alpine Resort and with the help of your local guide you are in for the behind the scenes tour.
The Fresh Adventures guided tour means that you will be skiing with a
genuine local who has spent year after year exploring and
finding the local gems. You will have VIP access to the best runs and secret stashes on each mountain, but not just that. With our expertise you will have the opportunity to
soak in a hot springs cave, and dine at the
best restaurants in each town. We have taken years to perfect this itinerary, so you can rest knowing that everything is taken care of, with minimal driving time and maximal fun!
This tour is suitable for anyone looking for more than the ordinary ski vacation. If you see yourself being immersed in the adventure of a lifetime, making new friends, mingling with locals, and getting deeper into the mountains than you thought possible than you have found your dream trip. With a single email we can take care of everything so all you have to do is 10,000 squats (just kidding but seriously!) and come ready for a good time. The mountains have terrain for everyone so this tour is suitable for all levels of skiers and boarders. We can arrange lessons, rentals, snowshoeing, cat or heli skiing, or perhaps a spa day during your ski tour.
If you love winter and you love to explore, this may be the ultimate trip for you. However, if this itinerary isn't enough for you, you can add it on to
Part 1 of the ULTIMATE Powder Highway Safari making it 17 days, visiting 7-8 resorts with 12 days of skiing/riding?
You can join this tour as a
solo traveller,
a couple,
small group or even book an entire tour with a
private group of up to 12 guests.
Ability
This tour is designed for
intermediate to advanced level of skiers and boarders, however
beginners are also welcome to join a tour as all of the mountains visited have facilities for beginners including lessons.
For intermediate skiers & riders, the guides are qualified instructors and whilst "progression" is not the main object of this tour, they will be there to provide coaching tips to those that want them.
The ultimate aim will be to help & encourage intermediate & advanced skiers & riders to tackle some of the ultimate off-piste runs at each resort.
Terrain
All of the terrain accessed on this tour is
within the resort boundaries on-piste and
off-piste. You will have the choice of skiing with or without your guide and the rest of the group as much as you want.
