Vancouver Backcountry Skiing
North Shore mountains are only minutes from Vancouver and offer some great backcountry skiing right in your backyard!
There is a whole world of exploring beyond the popular winter hiking routes. The terrain here offers a bit of everything: tree skiing through massive old growth forests, open slopes, ridges, peaks, and couliors.
