Snow Cat Skiing


The Kootenay Sampler

This is one of our most popular packages. It is the ultimate holiday!

It is a progressive powder experience over 6 or 7 days, depending on the time of year. The trip starts with an evening in Rossland and warm up day at Red Resort. Then you'll visit us for 2 days of skiing or riding in the legendary Valhalla Moutain Range, and stay at the Prestige Resort in Nelson on the waterfront on Kootenay Lake. Day 4 is about rejuvenation. Visit Ainsworth Hotsprings before flying up to our mountain top lodge for the pinnacle of this great trip.

At Snowwater Heli Skiing you'll experience private heli skiing in small groups of 4, with an exclusive setting providing the highest level of service in the industry. It is truly a one of a kind vacation.
