Impeccably maintained trail systems, meadows, plateaus, and even some big mountain boondocking, this hidden BC gem is a destination you won’t want to miss especially if you love consistent snowfall, and mild temperatures. A typical Island snowmobile season starts in mid-December and continues until at least the end of April, with some years providing opportunities to ride into June.

Thompson-Okanagan

Diverse and exciting are a few words that come to mind when describing snowmobile adventures in the Thompson Okanagan region. Southern riding zones have moderate temperatures, with consistent snowfall throughout the winter with the snowmobile season lasting from about early December to late April. Areas like Sicamous will see an even longer season, with endless big alpine riding, and fun technical terrain in forest burn areas. As you travel North towards Valemount and Blue River, the temperatures are usually colder in comparison to the South Okanagan which equates to ample deep dry blower powder and bluebird skies. The North Thompson’s riding season often starts in November, lasting into May in the higher elevations. If a family trail ride is what you’re after, you’re in luck for the Thompson Okanagan offer numerous groomed trail systems with warm up shelters to take the chill off when up in the backcountry.
