Selkirk Wilderness Skiing Weather Forecast

Today's Forecast
Updated at: 3:30pm PDT - Mar 29th 2012

We had a group of 14 shredders up here for our last day of the season at SWS.  Conditions were EPIC for late March.  Blower powder at higher elevations and soft and buttery everywhere in between.  Even as I type in the last report up here at the lodge,  it’s literally “barfing snow” outside - wow, could we ask for a better day to wrap up on!  We are lucky up here on Meadow Mountain!

Thanks to everyone for the good times, big jumps, little jumps, tomohawks, yard sales, short & long stories, games of crud, and laughs all around!  We wish you a stellar summer and we looking forward to sharing some of our secret stashes with you all next season.

Signing off,

The SWS Guiding Team

  • a convergence of perfection

    Statistics don't do it justice. Sure, 78 square kilometres (30 square miles) is big. Bigger than all of Vail and Whistler-Blackcomb combined. With only 24 skiers maximum per week, visitors to Selkirk Wilderness can expect over 80,000 vertical feet of untracked bliss.

  • family style

    There's the snow, the terrain, the skiing itself, but what truly differentiates Selkirk Wilderness is the people who work here. Many were born and raised in the region, having grown up working for us, in tune with the mountains we operate in.

  • mountain stories

    The Kootenays are a place rich in history and landscape. You're far away from the modern bustle here, deep in mountains that stretch past the horizon in every direction. There's a long history of working and living in the wilderness steeped environments of this place.
