British Columbia mountains highlights
- 75% of British Columbia is mountainous. That's almost 700,000 km2 of mountain terrain, 4 times the size of Great Britain. Mind-blowingly huge.
- BC's rugged Coast Mountains line the 27,000 km of Pacific coastline, topped by 4,019 m Mt Waddington
- Eastern BC is mountain country... dominated by the breathtaking Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountains (broken into the Cariboo, Selkirk, Monashee, and Purcell ranges) in the south.
- The St Elias Mountains in far northern BC include its highest, Mt Fairweather at 4671 m, lying only 20km east of the Pacific Ocean.

"Another great day ski touring around the Battle Abbey tenure. Corn started to get grabby on 3rd run so did the short via ferrata to summit of Mt Ridiculous. Thanks Carla and Danielle for making the most of challenging warm weather. " — scott • May 1, 2026
"Huge ski touring day to summit of Mount Butters. Not one bad turn all the way down — the corn bomb was going off, I had to cover ears it was so deafening. The steep debris-filled skin back up to the lodge was a final kick to work up the hunger. Just ate three hot dogs and still hungry. Thanks to guides Danielle & Ryan for taking us to this seldom
visited zone. " — scott • Apr 30, 2026
"Classic day ski touring in the Battle Range. Skinned up Typee Glacier to the summit. Then climbed up to a via ferrata over to Billy Goat, then back over the ridge down to the lodge. Consistently great corn skiing. Thanks to our guides Danielle, Carla, and Jeremy for showing us around. " — scott • Apr 29, 2026
"Olive N on skis, skied down the "Olive Garden" was a nice line. -8c and windy on the summit, didn't feel like mid April, thankfully it was sunny otherwise we would have froze. Crampons were helpful, would have been more effort without em sliding all over the place on the snowy shale. 23km 1250m gain to N summit, didn't go to S summit this time.

"An excellent mountain ridge walk with option to either retrace your steps down the ridge, or trek your skis up and ski an awesome line. Finally skied the olive garden, always wanted to ski that line. Attempted the S peak but conditions were very winter and I was simply too tired and had enough of the wind. Where tf is spring??? Will perhaps return some day for the S peak and just go up the olive garden directly, would be great to ski that line again! 23km 1298m cumulative gain." — hollywilliams • Apr 18, 2026
