The Pemberton Ice cap is arguably home to the best snowmobiling in the world. The 650 square mile ice cap, portrayed in these images is just a small example of the awesome expanse of these flowing, timeless glaciers, but it's not without it's hazards. You should be a seasoned mountain snowmobiler to travel this part of the world as you'll see, many surprises await the inexperienced rider. We recommend hiring a guide or taking a mountain specific sled training course to provide you with the appropriate backcounrty travel skills required to thoroughly enjoy the big mountain riding of BC.

As a snowmobiler its vital that you understand avalanche risks and train in avalanche avoidance, what equipment you need and how to use it in the event you need it.

Black Tusk Snowmobile Club recently ran a Level 1 Avalanche Safety Course at their fantastic facilities on Brohm Ridge. Check out this video from Dave Norona at NoronaLife.com which is packed with useful information and shows what an informative (and fun) day was had by all. Digging snow pits, understanding the snow pack, using your beacons correctly and more.
