The northern B.C. region is strongly appealing to snowmobilers. A ride here comes with thousands of kilometres of both backcountry and well-groomed terrain and generous snowfall - we’re talking a depth of up to 40 feet!
If you’ve been considering (or eagerly awaiting) a northern B.C. sledding trip, start planning ahead by booking a stay at one of the sledder-friendly hotels in the area.
