Carving the Pemberton Ice Cap / Ice Cave

The Pemberton Ice cap is arguably home to the best snowmobiling in the world. The 650 square mile ice cap, portrayed in these images is just a small example of the awesome expanse of these flowing, timeless glaciers, but it's not without it's hazards. You should be a seasoned mountain snowmobiler to travel this part of the world as you'll see, many surprises await the inexperienced rider. We recommend hiring a guide or taking a mountain specific sled training course to provide you with the appropriate backcounrty travel skills required to thoroughly enjoy the big mountain riding of BC.

Got your Trail Pass? Support your Federation

The following is a short video by Dave Norona explaining the importance of a BC Snowmobile Federation trail pass.  If you use trails to access the backcountry...those groomed trails and cabins are maintained by someone...usually hard working volunteers of a snowmobile club.  Help support the on-going efforts.  Thanks!!

The snow is hitting the peaks in Whistler, Blackcomb and the surrounding mountains. Looks like we are lining up for a very snowy La Nina winter with great riding conditions.
