This is our best-selling snowmobiling programme, riding into high mountains and lots of deep snow in the fabulous Columbia Mountains of central British Columbia. Guaranteed snow from November to April makes this one of the premier snowmobile areas in North America. Great powder snow riding, friendly guides and 4* deluxe accommodation make for a great winter holiday. Five fun-filled days of alpine snowmobiling adventure in the midst of some incredible mountain scenery. Using our deluxe facilities in the Glacier House Resort in Revelstoke, western Canada's finest snowmobile resort, our daytrips in the surrounding mountains let you enjoy superb snowmobiling. Riding our high-performance snowmobiles we instruct and guide beginners and experts to safely enjoy all aspects of snowmobiling. Trail riding, powder turns, and hill climbing are just some of the techniques you will enjoy this week, not to mention the incredible winter scenery of snow-capped trees, powder bowls and wildlife such as moose, elk and mountain caribou. Optional programmes include snowshoeing, cross-country, downhill and heli-skiing, hot springs visits and scenic flights. A great tour for all levels of experience.

And on 4 selected dates, we revise the itinerary to be more trail oriented so that we can take passengers: 28 Dec, 25 Jan, 22 Feb and 15 Mar.

Itinerary

Day 1 Sun Arrive Revelstoke. Check in at Glacier House Resort after your flight and transfer. This great snowmobile resort offers comfortable fire-place rooms and log chalets, indoor pool, spa, sauna, fitness room, restaurant and a cozy pub. Enjoy a welcome drink and dinner in the ‘Sledders’ pub tonight.

Day 2 Mon Boulder Mountain. After breakfast, we take you through your snowmobile safety instruction and equip you with boots, a special snowmobile suit and helmet. Today we explore the scenic trails and spacious alpine meadows of Boulder Mountain. We ride across ‘Streeter Street’ and head up the Veideman Trail that brings us to the infamous Super Bowl, Turbo Hill and the sensational 150 horsepower cliffs of ‘Turbo’, where the brave of heart try to make it over the top of a sheer vertical cliff. More trails await us as we head back to Glacier House Resort at the foot of Frisby Ridge.

Day 3 Tue Coursier Lake / Mt Hall. A 30 min drive by vehicle brings us south to the peaks of the Monashee Mountains. We ride around Mt Thor and explore the trails of Coursier Lake. Mt Hall offers fun riding in the trees on our way to the large plateau that towers over the Columbia River Valley. Moose are often seen in the wide valleys.

Day 4 Wed Coursier Lake / Mt Hall. After 2 days of riding you’ll appreciate the hot springs this morning. A 60 min drive by vehicle brings us south to the peaks of the Monashee Mountains. We cross the Arrow Lakes by ferry, and make our way to the natural hot pools of Halcyon. After a relaxing hot soak and lunch we head back to Revelstoke. We then gear up for our afternoon and evening ride of the trails and alpine areas of Frisby Ridge. We’ll straddle the ridge and look down 1300 m to the valley bottom far below and onto the Western Mountains of the Gold Range. Meadow after meadow filled with fun powder snow is our reward for this scenic crossing and we’ll play our hearts out in the snow all afternoon. Hungry yet? Get ready for a cozy candle-lit fondue or salmon steak BBQ at the ‘Glacier Station’, our cabin at 2000 m. An exhilarating ride through the dark alpine meadows using just our headlights provides an unforgettable experience before going home to the lights of Glacier House .

Day 5 Thu Boulder Mountain / Jordan Valley This morning we point our snowmobiles towards the Jordan Valley, where a meandering river is flanked on both sides by sheer cliffs and forest. Then we head for the frozen lakes and meadows of Boulder Mountain for more alpine riding. A thrilling ride along ‘bobsleigh ride’ trails brings us back to the valley floor, where we head back to the lodge, an unforgettable experience richer.

Day 6 Fri Frisby Ridge. Just a 20-min ride away, this is one of our favourite mountain areas, with lots of deserted trails through the scenic Columbia Mountains. We’ll even find some great powder spots to play in, as well as abandoned log cabins, a reminder that trappers were the first explorers of these mountains. Don’t forget your camera as we might run into some of the big moose that wander through these valleys. After this last great ride, we head home to the lodge (approx. 4 pm).

Day 7 Sat Depart. After a hearty breakfast your snowmobile adventure ends. If there’s time you can fit in a last massage or shopping trip. We will arrange transfers for your flight home (which will arrive in the UK tomorrow, Saturday). You'll want to come back for more next year!
