After almost a year of research into guided tours along the Powder Highway, I opted to reach out to Fresh Adventures, and I couldn’t be more glad that I did! The owner, Alex, was friendly and helpful, getting me the information I needed for the tour and coordinating travel arrangements.

Upon arrival in Canada, it was immediately apparent that this was a great group of people. Our guides, Claire and Bev, had a great rapport with each other and the tour group. Kind, caring, hilarious, and knowledgable only begin to describe them.

Once we were all in the mountains, the real fun began! The guides knew every resort as if they were locals. They were also able to assess everyone’s skiing abilities in the group quickly and tailored the terrain and riding to get the most out of everyone. All of the riders in our group were already strong, yet every group member leveled up throughout our trip. Claire and Bev (along with Alex, who was with us for the first half of our journey) found ways to push our comfort zones with hikes to some of the most unique terrain I have ever skied. The group’s excitement was palpable, with non-stop hoots and hollers through trees, cliffs, bowls, etc.

This was my second year travelling from Scotland for the 11 Day BC Ski Tour – which says something for Fresh Adventures and the stunning Powder Highway.

Right from the start, Alex was very helpful answering any questions I had and setting up bookings to suit. Including accommodation before and after the tour.

In the mountains, Margot and Sam were fantastic guides. Expertly catering to the level of the group and riding people wanted to do. Having guides like this allowed us to make the most of some incredible resorts. Hikes to hidden stashes, powdery tree runs and steep chutes. I felt confident and safe where I wouldn’t have ventured otherwise.

It’s also hard not to catch on to Margot’s seemingly endless enthusiasm. This combined with an atmosphere of encouragement and it felt like everyone progressed during the tour.

When not on the slopes, there’s little to stress about. As there was always a plan for the best après and dinner spots. With plenty of local knowledge thrown in.

Now back home and I wish I was still chasing the sound of excited shouts through the trees.  Thanks for everything Margot, Sam and Alex!

If you are an avid hiker, the 12-day tour is completely made for you. Alex was a phenomenal guide who took us off the beaten path. Most days were on trails with only a handful people and getting views that no other tour company can offer. Get your legs ready for awesome terrain and your bellies ready for incredible camping food!
