Adventure Trippin Tours
The Canadian Rockies and our British Columbia snowboarding trip beckon your inner powderdog to explore one of the world's most extraordinary areas for extreme carving, powder riding, and backcountry riding. The weather may seem harsh, with temperatures often dropping into the negative 20-30 degree range, but it assures for a winter wonderland with light, untouched, fluffy powder (and lots of it!). Whether you choose the 9-day tour or you stay on with us for a full 13 days of incredible riding, you'll have the opportunity to go snowcat boarding, soak in natural hot springs to rest those tired muscles, and chat up the locals at a bar or club in action-packed Nelson. With arguably the best snow in the world and some of the best resorts in North America, this is sure to be an unforgettable trip, and one to make you dream about endless powder days and breathtaking scenery for a long time to come.

|
| Day 2 |
Today we'll hit Fernie Resort, recently named North America's Resort of the Year by the Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide. Today will be a warm up day a chance for your coach to evaluate your development needs and to work with you to determine your goals for the rest of the trip. With a bit of luck, you'll get your first taste of BC's infamous powder. After a great day of riding, we'll head to downtown Fernie for a well-earned dinner.
|
| Day 3 |
Another day to explore the varied terrain, deep snow and huge skiable area of Fernie Resort. After a full day of coaching and riding, we'll head back to Fernie for our last evening in this relaxed resort town. Tomorrow our Canada snowboard tour will head even deeper into the magnificent Rockies.

| Day 4 |
Our final day of riding at Fernie Resort. We'll enjoy a last taste of Fernie's deep powder and wide bowls before heading west to reach two more infamous resorts Red Mountain and Whitewater. Departing late afternoon, we'll arrive late evening in Nelson, our home for the next four nights. Set beside a spectacular lake, Nelson is an artists community that has grown into a vibrant town of cafes, award-winning restaurants, galleries, live theatre and colorful historical buildings. Here we'll stay in a newly built boutique 4 ½ star hotel that offers spectacular lake views and easy walking access to downtown Nelson.

Both Whitewater and Red Mountain ski areas are fairly close to Nelson so today we will ride/ski at whichever resort has the best conditions. After a solid day of riding/skiing we will have an opportunity to check out the many top quality bars and restaurants this thriving little community is known for.

Tonight will be our last night in Nelson so we'll make the most of its great nightlife and vibrant culture.
