The #1 Canadian Backcountry Skiing destination
150+ routes over 7 valleys
With more than 150 routes spanning over 7 distinct valleys, the objectives at Rogers Pass are accessible right from the Trans-Canada Highway 1. From the heavily glaciated Asulkan drainage to the cedar forests of the Bostock Valley, there are flavors for all.
9 - 12 m of annual snowfall at treeline
Situated in the Goldilocks zone of the Selkirk Mountains, Rogers Pass received an unbelievable amount of snow, with settled snowpack depth ranging from 2 – 4 m (7 – 13ft) depending on the season. Its high-elevation terrain guarantees light, fluffy powder.
Unparallel mountain terrain
Powder laps in cathedral stands of ancestral forest one day followed by vast alpine bowls, all within a jaw-dropping, glaciated landscape that rewards people with unforgettable, world-class experiences. Intermediate to expert skiers will thrive.
Bring on the snow
Our snowpack varies between seasons, but you can reliably expect depth ranging from 250-400+cm. Its home range, the Selkirk Mountains, is situated in a Goldilocks zone for never-ending snowfall of utmost quality. If you’re looking for an abundance of dry snow, this is it! Spend a few days with me, and we’ll move through completely different terrain types: powder laps in ancestral forest one day followed by exciting alpine objectives the next – all within a jaw-dropping, glaciated landscape that rewards people with unforgettable, world-class experiences
Jaw-dropping terrain
Rogers Pass is known for its plethora of advanced-to-expert terrain, and that’s exactly why hiring a guide who knows it intimately matters. But there’s also enough lower-angle terrain tucked into the zone providing the right entry point for intermediate backcountry skiers and snowboarders hungry for progression toward more difficult objectives, and build from there, season over season, the same way I have. There’s another reason why our guided Rogers Pass ski touring trips are perfect for you. The terrain of Rogers Pass best suits advanced-to-expert skiers capable of at a minimum 900m of vertical gain. For intermediate skiers/snowboarders and guests looking for a less strenuous experience, the Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s backcountry is our recommended trip.
