Winter Activities in Lillooet

While weather in Lillooet tends to be mild from December to March, the surrounding mountain peaks of the Coast Mountains become frosty white with snow. The town is situated at 250 m (820 ft) elevation, while Mt. Brew, the tallest mountain, rises to 2,891 m (9,485 ft) - over 2600 m (8,530 ft) of elevation gain!

Get out and explore the snow-covered trails by snowshoe and cross country ski. Bring the family along to explore the forested trails by snowmobile.

Frozen lakes beckon, with fish swimming in the chilly depths. Cast a line in Lillooet’s ice covered lakes. In February, the Lillooet Lions host an annual Ice Fishing Derby at Pavilion Lake, a fun way to spend the day with the family.

Lillooet’s surrounding areas provide some of British Columbia’s best ice climbing terrain. Experience the thrill of conquering an frozen wall of ice. Lillooet has several easy to access ice climbing spots, such as Joffre Glacier Group and Marble Canyon Provincial Park. Private instructors can teach you the basics, with guided tours to ice climbing locations that suit your experience level.

Feel the thrill of making first tracks on the powdery slopes with a backcountry ski heli-assisted tour.

After a day exploring the outdoors, cozy up in a lodge, cabin, or by a winter campfire.
