Winter Highs

Some of the best outdoor recreation takes place here in the winter. High above the Bella Coola Valley's temperate rainforest are the glacier-laden peaks of the Central Coast Mountains. This region straddles two idyllic climatic belts that meld the snow-rich storms from the West Coast with the sunnier and much drier weather of the east Chilcotin Plateau, and presto, you have wondrous powder. The outstanding heli-skiing and heli-boarding are complemented by the camaraderie of world-class guides and the welcoming and unique accommodation. Bed down in a beautifully crafted log chalet, a comfy suite in an inn or other satisfactory sleep spots after adrenalin-filled days of taking on the steep and deep.

Explore the snow-covered forests and meadows by snowmobile or step onto your cross-country skis for a tranquil time in the woods. If you have your own snowshoes, a guided tour is available.
