Recreation

“What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains.” – Tennessee Williams

Take the road to adventure! There are few places in North America where the air is fresher, or the flowing water more clearer and colder. There will be twists and turns on the road before you find your own nature within the nature you discover – but it will be so worth it.

Most of the West Kootenay is part of British Columbia’s inland rainforest. The trees grow tall during the long spring, summer and fall. Winters fall down the mountainsides. The lower edge of the mantle of snow that lasts ten months of the year on the tallest mountain peaks descends gradually until it is winter in the valleys. While it is usually mild in the valley communities, deep powder snow cloaks the flanks of the mountains and fills the bowls in the alpine. There are breathtaking opportunities for winter recreation in this pristine mountain playground.
