Planing first skitouring in Canada

Hello, we want to go next winter for our first time to BC into the rockys for ski touring. Our question is when is the best time for making alpine touring and where is a worthwhile area? We will spend two weeks in BC and we will rent a rv in calgary.

We squint in the region of rogers pass and to Mt. Hector, but we do not know whether this is a good choise??

We are from Austria and make every winter up to fifty backcountry ski tours.

We hope someone can give us a view insider tips

Great to hear you are making the trip to Canada to go ski touring. While the rockies to have the best views around their snow is cold, limited and unstable so the ski touring is not the best until late winter and early spring. Do stop there to see the iconic Lake Louise and Banff area but then head to Rogers Pass where the snow is deep, dry and more stable generally. From there I would head to revelstoke and then south to the Kootenays. Here in the Kootenays we get similar snow depths as the coast mnts but much drier and far fewer people. Ski touring at Kootenay Pass and Whitewater is some of the best tre skiing around and the snow is typically great. This is why more than 75% of all cat skiing, heli skiing and backcountry lodges are found here. Have a look at some of the routes here and here as well as the guide for sale in the store.

Enjoy your visit and post up some pics of your travels!
