WHERE SNOW ADVENTURE RULES

Tucked between the Rocky and Columbia Mountains and bordering six national parks, Golden is where mountain adventure truly rules. Here, what you see is what you get: panoramic mountain vistas, great snow, and a prime location just off the TransCanada Highway.

Dive into six distinct SledGolden riding zones, each with its own unique flair. Start at the popular Quartz Creek for well-maintained access to a cabin and versatile play zones. For those who love sticking to the trail, ride the 38 km West Bench. It departs from the same staging area, offering a forested journey from Quartz Creek to the adventurous Gorman Lake area.

Venture south to Silent Pass for expansive sub-alpine meadows that will leave you speechless.
