Combine the Canadian Rockies with selected Powder Highway resorts, allowing two or three ski days at your favourite bases. Vernon and Kelowna are deliberate road stops on the longer southern approach to Rossland, instead of relying on an Arrow Lakes ferry shortcut. This is our editable itinerary, not the official Powder Highway loop. Check the calculated route and DriveBC.

14–21 days · 6 stops

  1. Whistler Blackcomb
  2. Sun Peaks

  4. Kicking Horse
  5. Lake Louise
  6. Banff · base for Sunshine

Build separate stays around Whistler, Sun Peaks, Revelstoke–Golden and Banff–Lake Louise. The west-to-east transfers need their own time; do not treat every move as a ski morning followed by an easy evening drive. Rogers Pass conditions can change the schedule. The trip finishes in the Rockies and does not include a return to Vancouver.
