region of British Columbia is a growing community of privately
owned cabins and condominiums, offering the luxury of complete
ski-in and ski-out accommodation.
In addition to downhill pursuits, Mount Baldy offers a variety
of other activities including 20 km of marked snowshoe trails
and non-groomed cross-country trails, 20 km of groomed cross
country ski trails for day use, a tobogganing area, and an 18-hole
championship Frisbee golf course. For those who like to test
their skills we also offer a full terrain park – home to the
annual Mt. Baldy Slope Style Competition. Mt. Baldy is well-known
for its untracked light and dry “Okanagan Powder”..

Okanagan Simikameen and Boundary-Kootenay regions is close to
