A Two-Week Winter Road Trip Through British Columbia’s Best Ski Resorts
Experience the beauty of BC.
A winter road trip through British Columbia is one of the best ways to experience Canada’s legendary ski culture. Over two weeks (or more), see snow-covered highways that connect world-class resorts, laid-back mountain towns, and some of the most dramatic alpine scenery in North America.
Start in Vancouver & Drive the Sea-to-Sky Highway
There’s something special about a winter road trip through British Columbia. Snowy highways wind through towering mountain ranges, small ski towns appear out of nowhere, and nearly every stop promises deep powder and unforgettable views. With two weeks, it’s possible to connect some of BC’s best ski resorts into one epic winter adventure.
The trip begins in Vancouver, heading north along the iconic Sea-to-Sky Highway. Even before reaching the slopes, the scenery sets the tone—ocean on one side, snow-covered peaks on the other. Whistler Blackcomb is the first major stop, and it’s easy to see why it’s world-famous. Massive terrain, reliable snowfall, and a lively village make it the perfect place to settle into the rhythm of the trip.
Interior BC: Sun Peaks, Big White & SilverStar
From Whistler, the road heads inland toward British Columbia’s quieter interior. Resorts like Sun Peaks and Big White offer a completely different vibe—wide-open runs, consistent snow, and true ski-in, ski-out villages. Days here are spent cruising perfectly groomed trails, while evenings are slow and cozy, often ending with a drink by the fire as snow falls outside.
Big Mountain Skiing in Revelstoke & Kicking Horse
As you head deeper into the mountains, the skiing gets bigger and bolder. Revelstoke Mountain Resort delivers legendary vertical and long, rewarding descents, while Kicking Horse is all about steep chutes, challenging terrain, and dramatic Rocky Mountain views.
A stop at Red Mountain in Rossland rounds out the trip with uncrowded slopes, incredible tree skiing, and an authentic ski-town feel. It’s a reminder that some of British Columbia’s best skiing comes without the crowds.
Why a BC Ski Road Trip Is Worth It
Between resorts, you’ll find hot springs, frozen lakes, and quiet winter towns that make the journey just as memorable as the skiing. Two weeks fly by in a blur of powder turns and scenic drives—proof that a winter road trip through British Columbia belongs on every skier’s bucket list.
