McBride, CMH’s largest area, is located in the vast and wild northern Cariboos. Its rugged, steep terrain, huge glaciated plateaus, and mature, well-spaced forests offer a magnifi cent range of skiing opportunities. Impressive views of the Cariboos’ spiky Premier Range and the Rockies’ monarch, Mount Robson, dominate the area.

The McBride area is notable for its unlimited vertical skiing (that is, there is no charge for exceeding the guaranteed number of vertical metres). With only one private group of up to 10 skiers, McBride offers much mobility and the flexibility to find the snow and terrain best suited to the group’s abilities and desires and the pace at which they want to ski.

Accommodations in McBride are at the North Country Lodge, where CMH leases a private facility complete with a private dining room, a comfortable lounge with wood-burning fireplace, a massage room, and whirlpool. All our rooms and amenities are in an enclosed structure exclusive to CMH guests. The North Country Lodge is located just off Highway #16 adjacent to the village of McBride.

Transportation to McBride is by chartered bus from Prince George to McBride. Guests are asked to fly direct to Prince George, BC via Vancouver, BC. We ask that you arrive in Prince George on the Friday evening prior to the Saturday start of your CMH trip. Upon arrival at the Prince George Airport, a shuttle driver will meet you and shuttle you to the Coast Inn in Prince George where you will overnight before being driven to McBride Lodge in the morning. Driving time from Prince George to McBride averages 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Notable runs: Gas Me Up, Tattoo You, Courchevel



Greg Yavorsky
Lodge Manager

Greg skied as a child, but came to guiding through mountain climbing and his exposure to Rudi Gertsch and Peter Schlunegger, the first guides he ever met way back in the mid 70's. He first worked for CMH in the ski shop in Revelstoke in 1983, and then joined the guiding staff. He also did some summer guiding in the Alps through the mid 90's. Working with guides from other countries has always been a part of guiding that Greg appreciates. When he came to live in the Rockies in 1980, there were few guides and guiding companies and CMH was the company that Greg aspired to work with. When he joined, there were only 35 guides on staff, compared to 100+ today! In addition to the challenges of terrain selection and decision-making, Greg enjoys the social interaction with guests in the mountain environment. Outside of ski and mountain guiding, he enjoys playing acoustic music, black & white photography and his greatest pleasure is travelling with his kids Emily and Kristopher.
