A week of skiing across BC for the price of a weekend in Whistler

Updated: Dec 16, 2024


British Columbia is a skier’s paradise, and while Whistler Blackcomb often gets all the attention, we think there may be an even more thrilling option: a week-long adventure road-tripping across BC’s hidden gems. Picture this, for roughly the same price as a weekend in Whistler, you can ski an entire week, and take in breathtaking landscapes along the way.

Ready for an unforgettable journey? This road trip offers incredible value and endless adventure.
