Description

Just 40 minutes from Revelstoke is a small section of highway known to ski tourers the World over - Rogers Pass. The terrain is huge, the snow reliable and cold, and the potential for adventure is virtually unlimited.

In this guidebook you'll find 2 classic ski traverses with steady skiing and no overly technical terrain, 2 serious steep ski lines and a couple of routes somewhere in the middle.

Whether you stay in Revelstoke and just head up to Rogers for the day or you stay in the forests around the Pass, the area is likely to leave you wanting more. Many people have made this their "go to" ski touring area and you will understand why after doing these tours!
