Kootenay Ski Towns

Looking for the ultimate ski vacation? Succumb to the lure of the Kootenay Rockies, where the

snow is soft and deep, lift lines are short, and a free-spirited counterculture prevails. Locals here are by and large outdoorsy, creative types who are quick to chat you up - whether on the hill or over an après-ski pint – and make you feel welcome. The mountains, most of which are within shouting distance of town, are renowned for an annual snowfall of up to 12 m/40 ft of perfect powder. Summer brings stellar hiking and mountain biking, and local museums tell the tales of how these colourful towns came to be. Learn more....
