Galena

Galena offers varied, challenging and phenomenal backcountry skiing in Selkirk's Badshot Range, known for some of the steepest and rockiest terrain in the Columbia Mountains. As skiers discovered the adventures that awaited in Galena, the name became synonymous with technical backcountry skiing in bottomless powder. Here, from the start of the season, 80% of the skiing is in the forest, in March and April the proportion gradually increases to skiing in high alpine terrain. Galena is recommended for experienced skiers.

4 groups of 11 skiers share a Bell 212 helicopter. The lodge is built where three major valleys meet giving access to skiing in almost all weather conditions.
