Murray Ridge
One t-bar, tons of soul. Fort St. James, in the northern Cariboos, lives and breathes winter. The ski area, Murray Ridge, is one of those awesome throwbacks to the pre-six pack era. No pretension here.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself getting towed on your skis by sled dogs, or welcomed to a fireside apres session.
Go retro for real and rock out in Fort St. James.
