The Snowwater Difference

WE BELIEVE YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE LEGENDS THAT DEFINE YOU, AND THAT THIS IS THE PLACE TO START BUILDING THEM.

• Providing a safe and highly enjoyable skiing and boarding vacation is our highest priority. We have CAA industry leaders audit our standards annually to ensure we meet, and even exceed, all safety requirements for our industry.

  Our guests are equipped with BCA airbags  - a device proven to significantly reduce the chances of being buried in an avalanche. Each guest is also given a digital Tracker S beacon, avalanche probe and shovel, as well as a personal ICOM guest radio with external mike, enabling immediate communication with fellow skies, guides and our office dispatch while in the field.

• Only three groups of four share our B3E A-star helicopter and 150,000 acres of remarkable terrain. Skiing in small groups mean we can cater to your specific group requests and desires.  Skiing moves faster and is safer over all than large group heli or cat skiing.

• With 150,000 acres of terrain we have plenty of pow for everyone. Remember, only 3 groups of 4 guests a day means volumes of light, Kootenay powder, just for you.

• Snowcat backup means you ski every day, all day - guaranteed. Unlike other operations now offering snowcat backup we were initially a snowcat operation, so the quality of our backup terrain is superb.

• Our remote lodge is ’mountain chic’ and includes every creature comfort, including high speed internet and cell phone access.

• We are 80% repeat business - a number that clearly defines how our clients feel about where they want to spend their hard earned dollars - over and over.

• Our all-inclusive, unlimited vertical package is bar none the best priced package being offered in the industry. We challenge you to find better for the same quality.

• We are committed to sustainability and reducing our footprint to help preserve the very nature that makes our wilderness experience one of the best in the world.
• Carbon Credits? We collect them! Our other business is in forestry where we have collected millions of seedlings every year for the past 20 years. These go towards replanting the forests of BC in the summer, while in the winter we help people appreciate the importance of preserving our spectacular backcountry terrain, and enjoying nature in its pristine form.

• We are easy to get to. Fly directly into Castlegar (YGR), or fly to Spokane, Wa - a three 1/2 hour drive away.

• We strive to redefine efficient service with an effortless style and fun-loving attitude.
