Introduction

Set in an untouched natural valley, the winter sports paradise of Blue River lies in one of the world's most productive snow belts for high-quality, reliable powder snow. With the Cariboo Mountains to the north, the northern reaches of the North Thompson River to the east, and Wells Gray Provincial Park to the west, Blue River is a great base from which to explore British Columbia's vast and unspoiled wilderness Interior. From a lakeside spruce lodge or private chalet, this corner of the world famous Cariboo and Monashee mountains has some of the most breathtaking views in the province, and some of the best heli-skiing in the world. Consistent accumulations of 30 feet or more are normal, and reliable snow cover runs right through the winter into late spring, making Blue River an international destination for the ultimate skiing experience.
