Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we meet? 

Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre – 10:00 AM 

Address: 265 Southgate St, Tumbler Ridge, BC V0C 2W0

Can I rent skis? 

Yes, talk to your local Ski Club and ask for rentals. It’s a great way to support your local communities if you don’t have any. 

There is also rentals at the TR Visitor Centre but they’re a first come first basis and can’t always promise there will be your size available. 

Is it beginner friendly? 

Yes, there are some challenging parts of the trail with navigating your skis. This tour is suitable for beginners. You should be physically fit enough to walk up and down a few hills, and walk at a comfortable pace for three kilometres. The first part of the tour is a mini skills session to get you gliding on your own in minutes!

Can your child join in on the fun?

Yes, we love having the whole family out. Minimum age limit is 11. 

Where do we park? 

There is a pull out just before the bridge to park our vehicles on. We will try and take up as little room as possible. If you would like to carpool from TR that can be discussed at the Visitor Centre. 

How did we get to location?

We will carpool in a line with the guide leading to the trailhead.

Is the tour cancelled if it is too cold?

If the temperature goes below -30 degrees celsius then we will not run the tour and we can reschedule your booking. 

What is the cancellation policy?

Refund Policy – Due to the nature of outdoor adventures and that we have many upfront costs, all day adventures are non refundable. We can issue a credit for full amount that guest can use to a future adventure with cancellations a week in advance from the date of trip. We do everything in the best of our abilities to provide an amazing experience however due to weather & safety restrictions we may, at times, not be able to reach summit or desired view with group. 

What if the roads are bad? 

We have the meeting at the Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre at 10:00 AM giving us plenty of time to get there. Please, take your time on the roads. Make sure to have my number in your phone just in case if you can’t make it. 

Should I tip my guide? 

Tips are not expected, but are certainly appreciated. If you think your totally rad guide did an exceptional job and would like to indicate that with a tip, it will be graciously accepted with cash or e-transfer at the end of your tour.

There is plenty of places to stop and go to the bathroom. No outhouses available.
