Skiing & Snowboarding
There's a reason the Okanagan powder is infamous in this province — there is simply no better feeling than carving fresh tracks through the lightest, driest, fluffiest snow that graces our slopes.
Where winter is more than a season, it's a sensation

Cat Skiing/Snowboarding
Craving a little adventure outside the resort boundaries? Monashee Powder Snowcats and Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge offer cat-skiing/boarding for the powderhounds who just can’t get enough fresh tracks. Venture out in the comforts of a snowcat then dance your way down in pristine powder 8s. These cat skiing operations tend to book out a year in advance, so book early or phone in to put your name on a waitlist.
