Wells, BC
The historic gold-rush town of Wells still enjoys white gold at its doorstep in all directions.
Hit Troll Mountain Resort for downhill, lift skiing and snowboarding, head out ski touring into the Cariboos or cross-country via the Wells and Area Trail Society network. Take a page from explorers of old and stay overnight in a back country cabin. Or wander the abandoned gold rush town of Barkerville and sample the many scotch selections of the Wells Hotel.
Wells is a snowy frontier, for the bold and adventurous.
About Troll resort
Famous for its hugs and cinnamon buns, Troll Resort is the legacy of one family and it still has that family feel today. Not to mention, epic shredding on 35 runs spanning 1729 vertical feet. Go once and it'll feel like family, go twice and it'll feel like home. Open five days a week (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) from December to April.
