SQAWK 2026 Road trip: Kootenays (Powder Highway)

SQAWK 2026 Road trip: Kootenays (Powder Highway)

Earlier this season SQAWK headed up north for its 2026 annual trip. We had been daydreaming about the snow pillows of the Monashee and Selkirk mountains for a while, and it was finally time to explore interior B.C's snow playground. 

We loaded up the truck, packed our test gear and cameras and headed north.

We planned to visit 3 resorts (and sprinkle in some Cat skiing)

  • Red Mountain
  • Revelstoke
  • Kicking Horse

The trip did not go to plan.

Low snow cover, a broken chairlift, and non-running SnowCat operations threw us some lemons, but we did our best to make lemonade. Bad conditions couldn't keep us from having a good time and there were still plenty of laughs.

Expect to see some new gear we tested in B.C and hear some stories from the trip soon,
