 Nestled
in the pristine wilderness of the Canadian Rockies, Powder King
Mountain Resort offers the best of the great outdoors, from
virgin snow and breathtaking drops, to the gentle groomed slopes
of beginner runs - and some of the best powder skiing in British
Columbia! Most of the terrain favours intermediate-level skiers.
Powder King Mountain Resort is located in the centre of Pine
Pass on Highway 97 in Northeast BC, 42 miles (67 km) west of
Mackenzie and 123 miles (195 km) north of Prince George. From
Vancouver, head north on Highway 97 to Prince George, then head
122 miles (195 km) farther north to the mountain. From Edmonton,
head north to Dawson Creek, and then come 131 miles (210 km)

The PK Express will run from Prince George to Powder King every
day the mountain is open. Leaving Pine Center Mall at 6:20am
and The Hart Mallat 6:40am. The return trip leaves Powder King
approximately half an hour after the lift closes. It is recommended
