Head for the hills
Boundary Country’s mountains offer four seasons of elevation-fuelled adventure. Carve fresh powder, hike alpine ridgelines, ride lift-accessed bike parks or snowshoe quiet forest trails. With peaks like Big White, Baldy and Phoenix, the region is packed with scenic terrain, fresh air and no shortage of ways to play at altitude.
Activities
In every season, the mountains here deliver. Ski and snowboard deep powder at Big White or Baldy, race the Spring Fling Dummy Downhill at Phoenix or hike alpine trails bursting with wildflowers. Come summer, ride Big White’s world-class bike park or explore scenic loops above Greenwood. Crisp fall hikes, starlit snowshoeing - this is peak adventure, year-round.
