Rippin’ at Ripley
Stewart, BC is fast becoming known for terrain that makes the heart thump. Steep tree runs that will leave the knees burning and glacial terrain so huge, you’ll wonder what planet you are on. The Rippin’ at Ripley Tour features only 2 groups of 5 guests per helicopter with the goal to ski as much as possible. This tour is reserved for ‘experts only’.

Conditions Update
Snow depth is lower than usual but when one boasts an average annual snowfall of 75ft
[ 25m ] that gives you plenty of leeway to still offer great skiing. The trees have been phenomenal – like off-the-charts good.
