Shames Mountain is one of North America's best kept secrets. For the locals, it's a legend! Shames lies 13 km off Highway 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert, in the Coastal Mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. Enjoy the massive amounts of snow without the line ups or crowds! Shames allows skiers & boarders easy access to an amazing backcountry environment! If you like tree skiing, steeps, terrain parks, big mountains or just powder... Shames has it all! And it’s right outside your doorstep!

" ... the easily accessible outlying area offers some delicious off-site possibilities and then some. After a short hike, that’s where we found ourselves, rolling over some powdery tree-lined hills down to an unbelievably huge, 50-degree horseshoe-shaped bow. It was one of nature’s ready-made snow parks sitting there, with any number of lines available.You could hurl off just about any spot on the rim, or cut hard-guy extreme turns down the face. The possibilities, as they say, were endless, this feature alone making exploration worthwhile, but it’s the Shames backcountry–incredible, sonnet-inspiring peaks rolling on and on into the distance–that make it worth the trip."
