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.</p> <p>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.”</p> <p><strong>From <em>Bugaboo Dreams</em> by Topher Donahue</strong><br /> Get your copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bugaboo-Dreams-Skiers-Helicopters-Mountains/dp/1897522118/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243106856&sr=8-1" target="_blank"><em>Bugaboo Dreams</em></a> today.</p> </div> </div>
