The peace, tranquillity and utter wildness that the winter can bring to the mountaintops is pure magic. Floating through a severe Kootenay powder run is an experience that you will never forget. Only a few times in our lives do we transcend the World so completely - more so for Kootenay residents and even more the powder ski freaks.The best powder runs are experienced after you have worked hard every step, for every turn and NO ONE has laid a track near yours all winter. At the end of your day you can look back at your slope, remembering, savouring, and knowing that the next storm will wipe the slope clean. Ski Touring is the ultimate environmentally friendly way of travelling - you leave nothing not even footprints, just taking memories. The Kootenays are blessed with some of the best ski touring in the world. Please respect this miracle with every step and every turn.
The Kootenays are home to most of the backcountry ski lodges in British Columbia. Some of the best roadside ski touring is available in the Kootenays: Kootenay Pass and Rogers Pass.
