Tours:
The
best powder, tons of it, superb terrain options and unbelievable
terrain. If you want to check it out for a day Rossland Mountain
Adventures will confirm what you are looking for, ascertain
your ability, whether you are touring for the first time or
out for the goods we will find the best place for you to tour
based on conditions and what terrain will give you what you
are looking for.
Our guides are all familiar with the local
terrain, are certified through CSGA ( CAnadian Ski Guide Assoc.
) or ACMG ( assoc of Canadian Ski Guides ) They can turn a good
tour into a great experience. see guide
page
We
have amazing steep and deep, wide unskied glades and routes
that will challenge those who want a fast, fun ride. To routes
that welcome those who want a slower, powder softened descent
It's
about being out there, away from the crowds, moving up through
soft Kootenay powder, enjoying the views as you earn the seemingly
unending descent. The powder that moves you, the glades that
welcome and the rush that comes earning the tracks that you
alone are carving into the snow.

Testimonial:
....As I begin to order my memories of the past ten days,
and recount the tale to friends and family, I am truly appreciating
what an exceptional experience we all had. To me personally
the trip was defined by the combination of escapism through
the real sense of adventure, incredibly hospitable people
in such a relaxed environment (primarily due to our guide,
great snow and weather (by our euro standards), awe inspiring
natural beauty of the Bonningtons and above all the best skiing
of my life- I have such such vivid memories of so many of
the lines we took, and our collective euphoria from the 'Giggles'
run will always be with me .My imagination is already whirring
for the next adventure to Canada. Watch out, you may be seeing
us again in the not too distant future. .....
