Wap Lake Road
SCALE 1 : 250,000

18 km west of Revelstoke. Turn left at the top of the three lane hill approx 2.5 kms west of Three Valley Gap. The Wap Lake area is great for family riding as over 150 kms of ungroomed trails lead through the scenic Monashee Mountain wilderness. Watch out for the moose and please maintain even speeds to save the trails. Access to Griffin, Joss and Mt Begbie alpine areas are from this area as well. A quide is recommended for these high avalanche expert riding areas of Joss and Mt Begbie.

Drive 40 kms south on Hwy 23 for another good family to expert riding area. Parking is off the road on the West side or at the Shelter Bay junction, then take the logging road that heads right up the mountain. Near the top you can take the easier logging road route into the Alpine or veer off into the trees for expert tree riding. Either way something for everyone. For more of a family ride, stay on the logging road and head for Coursier Lake. This is a good foggy day ride as well. Always remember to be prepared.

Griffin is a great ride when the weather gets clouded in. The ungroomed trail leads to the upper cutblocks then through the trees into the alpine. Some of our best tree riding happens on Griffin. NO brushing has been done on this trail so early season can be a little tricky with alder and for that reason best riden later in the season. This is an easier ride once trail has been put in.
The Revelstoke Snowmobile Club ( RSC) is proud of their infrastructure of cabins, and well marked groomed trails on both Boulder Mtn and Frisby Ridge. At the base of both Boulder and Frisby you will be asked to provide your yearly membership decals or pay for your daily trail fee. The booth attendants will also be able to provide information that will assist you in enjoying our areas to the fullest. We have plenty of additional areas that have ungroomed trails for your enjoyment. We would not be able to provide this infrastructure or work with Government to keep our riding areas open without the support of our Corporate Partners. We ask that whenever possible, you support our Corporate Partners. They keep our sport alive.

Mt. Begbie

Mt. Begbie will give you the nicest views of Revelstoke and the valley. By going up Begbie you will be able to ride up to the toe of the glacier that overlooks Revelstoke from the west. There is some nice tree riding and open bowl climbing in this area. To access Begbie you must sled through some extreme avalanche area. Use extreme caution and check the Avalanche Bulltetins before proceeding in this area. This is best for a sunny day ride.

Joss is a new addition to our riding area and is a sunny day ride only. It also access’s Two Moon Lake. There are two routes in, the longer Wap Lake Road turning left on Iron Road, total length is approx 50 km one way. The shorter route off of Wap Lake Road takes you up some extreme and expert terrain. You are in extreme avalanche area if you decide to take the shorter route. Always check the avalanche conditions and have all safety gear with you. Once in the alpine, you will be extremely impressed by the open alpine riding, and exploring the route back into Two Moon Lake. We do share Two Moon Lake with a cat ski company so please respect their ski operation. Do not go past Two Moon Lake as this is the boundary of the ski tenure.

Keystone Basin Always a popular area, which is 52 kms North on Hwy 23 and note parking is limited. This is a very large area with vast open bowls. Make sure you check the avalanche conditions before heading up the Keystone. It is a remote area so take extra gas and gear accordingly. There are some seasonal snowmobile closure areas North of the Keystone trail and south of the Keystone cabin. Watch for caribou and please respect these closures. The front side of Keystone has some great tree riding for low visability days, but the back end to Keystone needs to be saved for a clear day. In order to access the back end of Keystone you must first cross a shovelled out area.

Snowmobile Closure The Revelstoke Snowmobile Club promotes ‘Best operating practices in wildlife habitat.” You are responsible to know where and when the closures are and to stay out of these areas. If wildlife is encountered on a designated trail, please refrain from approaching. Make every effort to stay as far away from wildlife as safely possible.
