Coquihalla Backcountry Skiing

Coquihalla Summit area offers deep and dry snow conditions with no lift lines! Throw in easy access from Vancouver or Kamloops and you’ve got one awesome day of backcountry skiing.

The skiing options here are endless. From fun powder skiing in open sub alpine glades to steep gnarly chute skiing, the Coq is one of our favourite places to ski.

Join one of our guided backcountry skiing trips to the Coquihalla, or contact us for a private booking anytime though out the season. We also offer Coquihalla based Ski Touring and AST1 courses, see courses above or contact us for more info.

We keep the groups small with a maximum guide:guest ratio of 1:6.

Some of our favorite Coquihalla tours:

  • Needle Peak
  • Iago & Great Bear
  • Thar Peak
  • Alpine Ridge traverse from Zopjok to Alpaca
  • Needle Peak Couloir
