Description

Welcome to the Kootenay Pass in British Columbia, Canada. If you’re looking for some fun backcountry skiing in great conditions then look no further! 

Situated about 1 hour south of Nelson, this wonderful mountain pass is elevated up at 1780m above sea level. Separating the settlements of Salmo and Creston, the pass is also referred to as ‘the Salmo-Creston’.

The Kootenay Pass is located in the southern region of the Selkirk mountains, with the Selkirks themselves forming part of the greater Columbia Mountain range.

This area is truly stunning, with dense alpine forests, mountain lakes and a horizon dotted with peaks, you will be blown away by the views!

There is a wonderful diversity of backcountry ski touring options here, with 5 separate valleys to choose from.

Fantastic tree skiing awaits you, as do superb sub-alpine ridges that supply some amazing open terrain!

It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced skier, I will create a day to suit your ability and preferences.

I like to conduct my trips in small groups of up to 6 people, meaning that I’ll always be able to keep an eye on your safety and communicate about the surroundings.

So how does it sound to explore this wild and wonderful location in the Canadian Selkirk mountains? If you want deep powder snow, virgin slopes and a fun vibe then sign up now and I’ll be waiting!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

Nate was very knowledgeable and got me to the top of mountain. He’s not as engaging as most of the guides I’ve had over the years. I’ve learned a lot about most of my climbs as guides talk about the mountain and the area maybe even plant and animals and I enjoy getting to know them better. We did talk a bit more on the way out of the trailhead. All in all a good experience. But not sure your company told him I had a knee replacement and would be slow.
