Pedal Through Stunning Kootenay Backcountry

White Grizzly’s gravel biking takes you off the beaten track via remote forest roads:

Valley loops with glacial views ride along rivers and past peaks that double as stunning winter ski terrain.

Mixed-surface adventure gravel roads, creek crossings, mild single track sections mirroring the technical awareness required for K3 cat skiing or challenging cat skiing Whistler pitches.

Supported rides with local guides expert insight into route planning, safety, and gear, much like a friendly cat-skiing guide would offer on snow.

Gravel vs Powder: Why They’re Perfect Together

Endurance & leg strength: Long gravel miles build cardio fitness and muscle stamina perfect for sustained cat skiing days like K3 or Whistler runs.

Technical terrain-readiness: Steering over rocky, variable surfaces sharpens reflexes and balance before winter tree-line drops.

Navigation & group flow: Group rides teach pacing, route coordination, and support skills directly transferable to small-group cat skiing ops.

Final Take
