CMH McBride

Huge, Exclusive Terrain | Catering to Private Groups


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 magnificent range of skiing opportunities.

With only one private group of up to 10 skiers, McBride offers the mobility and flexibility to find the snow and terrain best suited to the group's abilities and desires.

Accommodations in McBride are at the North Country Lodge, where CMH leases a private facility. All our rooms and amenities are contained in an enclosed structure exclusive to CMH guests.

Additional Information - About the Lodge

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 magnificent range of skiing opportunities. Impressive views of the Cariboos’ spiky Premier Range and the Rockies’ monarch, Mount Robson, dominate the area.

And for skiing, there is still opportunity for exploration. The bread and butter areas of McBride are the thousand-meter tree runs of the remote and pristine Betty Wendle Creek drainage and the alpine descents of Castle Creek that assistant area manager Kevin Christakos describes as a “land of rock walls, cornices and big terrain where you feel super small.” But there are new areas to explore in the vast McBride tenure. During February of 2008, Christakos was excited by the already fat snowpack. With a gleam in his eye he said, “I expect to ski lines this year that have never been skied before.”
