Deep December Rogers Pass
Three days of Deep December Powder, what a great xmas present! Rogers Pass is renowned for its huge snowfall and cold deep powder skiing and in late December it can be waist deep! Based out of Golden B.C. This is an ideal trip for intermediate to strong skiers who like to ski a lot!
Rogers Pass is located just east of Revelstoke. It is a truly epic location for ski & snowboard touring. In fact, it has quick access to a variety of terrain which works for all abilities and weather conditions.
Rogers Pass is a top spot in North America to powder ski. Also, the access is very quick so it is easy to get there. Besides, the ski runs are long, rendering the descents amazing. The amazing powder and snowfalls in this area have made Roger Pass famous among winter sports enthusiasts.
Plan to meet the group in Golden at the Kicking Horse River Lodge on the morning of December 26th, the group will sign waivers then head out to the pass.
There will be a companion rescue training exercise to review the use and procedures of the avalanche gear then head out for the day.
We can accommodate first time back-country skiers with intermediate ski skills on this trip as we don't want them to miss out on the Deep December Powder skiing!
