7-Day Canadian Rockies Winter Package: VIA Rail Vancouver to CalgaryDid the Guided 11 Day Powder Highway Tour with our amazing guides Dori & Max. In one word - Awesome !!!! The tour was well organized, travel, tickets, meals etc. I never had to worry about anything. I was a solo traveler & the guides & group were awesome. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to improve their off piste skiing. Each days was a full days skiing. Get to the resort early for the start of the day. Do a few groomed runs to warm up then off exploring the resort (off piste & the challenging runs). The guides were great. They assessed your ability & took you places that a) you would never know about & b) challenged & improved your skiing. Most days were on the slopes until the resort closed. After was a drink &/or back to the hotel to freshen up & then out to dinner. I can highly recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their skiing & see parts of the mountain only a "local" would know. One recommendation is get fit before hand & get there a few days early to get your ski legs back (I went to Revelstoke a few days early to ski before the tour & am very glad I did)
