    INTERIOR MOUNTAINS

    To share any info your have on backcountry skiing in the Interior Mountain, or to get the lowdown from others, check out our backcountry skiing forums on the region. Mountain ranges in the BC Interior enjoy a well-deserved reputation for having some of the best (and most) snow anywhere. Names like the Valhallas, Selkirks, Kootenays and Monashees conjure up images of breathtaking nature, epic days and deep, light powder snow. Storms brewing more than 400km away on the coast are to thank for this. Massive storms in the Pacific collide with the Coastal Mountains and deposit huge dumps of snow. These storms are ploughed east, passing over the dry Interior Plateau and Okanagan Valley ‘til they meet the cooler climate of BC’s Interior. The precip. then unloads on the various interior ranges in the form of dry, light snow. From late October to late March, the snow continues to fall (and accumulate) with temperatures usually hovering just below the freezing mark. No wonder the area is legendary. To get the scoop on avy conditions throughout the interior, check out the CAA forecasts for  Kootenay Boundary, South Columbia and North Columbia.

    We want to “beef up” the site for next season and are on the lookout for people who can provide route descriptions that aren’t featured here. It’ll mean better, possibly safer, and definitely more fun tours for readers like you. To contribute to the areas we are focusing on currently, just CLICK HERE and let ‘er rip. If you have any questions, contact backcountryskiingcanada’s Grand Poobah. We all want your input and will help you out in any way we can.
