Many of you will have heard about the new Hankin-Evelyn Backcountry Recreation area. We are pleased to officially launch maps and access information. Please visit www.bbss.ca/hankin for details. Take some time to look at the rest of that site for other useful information such as maps of popular ski touring locations in the Bulkley Valley.
This Recreation Area is a new approach to backcountry skiing in the Bulkley Valley. It creates significant new below-tree-line skiing and ensures access roads are maintained throughout the winter. It’s all about supporting the backcountry ski community by opening up a wealth of non-motorized ski touring terrain for all abilities. Spanning low elevation snow shoeing and cross-country loops, beginner, intermediate and expert tree runs, or high alpine bowls—Hankin-Evelyn offers something for everyone.
