Rodgers Pass BC

what are you looking for in your trip?

You should probably learn the name first.....

a buddy of mine just spent a week up there skinnig. not sure what he spent but i know it wasnt much cause he stayed at a friends house.

There's a hotel at Roger's Pass for 69 a night. It's an hour drive to either Golden or Revelstoke and you aren't looking much less than that in town for accom. Stay at the pass, poutine and beer, hot tub and bed. The best way to do it fo sho.

Not to keen to give out skiing advice.

Haha, Ive seen that picture before. A few of my friends went up there with that guy.

there's some books out there that go over the more popular touring routes at the pass. I'm sure you will be able to find one in Golden and Revelstoke when you get into the area. Check Valhalla, they probably got some.

What kind of vehicle do you drive? If you are really poor - you should just sleep in that. The cabins in the park are by reservation only, and they fill up fast - and you need to pay for a membership for the Alpine Club of Canada on top of the cost of renting the cabins.

They get A LOT of snow up there, much much more than Kicking Horse and Revelstoke, so don't ski the slackcountry of those hills and judge the snow/avalanche conditions at the pass off of the stuff around the ski hills.

The pass is big, mostly alpine, and the approaches are long. Don't say you weren't warned.

thanks for the help, i have found a few places online that have helped try and plan

Don't write off the hotel at the pass. Such a pimp way to do it and you save the stress of storm driving, getting stuck with highway closures and gas money.

There is a ton of Below Tree Line skiing to be had in the pass. You can find a line for any condition. The tree runs around the hotel are very popular though, especially on weekends.

Skiing is good there really late in the year but if you are looking for blower pow, March is your best bet.

depends on the season. Last year was exceptional for "post season" touring. Further south at Kootenay Pass our last day of pow was May 3rd... but up in the Revelstoke area it went later. Besides pow conditions, the snow just refused to melt last year. I have friends in Revy who were tree skiing on some pretty decent snow (not pow, but whatever) in early July.

This year is still to be written though. We're all hoping for a good post season, but you never know till it happens.

Drail, I like your Cascadia flag!

Above average snowfall so far and March is stacking up to be awesome. More than a meter in three days at the pass now.

"skiable" is a very subjective term.

rogers is fucking epic. Agree with most posted above. just make it happen. The lift lines are insane though....

Ha. I'm at Rogers pass in the shitty but perfect Glacier Park Lodge at this very moment. Beware of the surface whores, but the pillows sure are soft ;)
