Went on the Canada road trip 2018. Was so epic to see and snowboard this beautiful part of the world, but to also have top notch local knowledge on hand to get us to the best spots on the day, really topped it off. Hayden the local guide took us to some rad terrain, that would've taken weeks to find on our own.
Dave, our other guide from NZ was a mad addition to have along too, really knowledgable on all aspects of snowboarding, and his tips had people shredding way above the level they started at the beginning of the trip.
Both fellas were really chill, down for a laugh, and good fun to share the road with. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone wanting explore and shred some of the more epic places in Canada, while having a rad time doing it!

Went on the 2015 Road Trip. Was an absolute amazing tour! Made my Canada trip what it was!

Was hosted by two well rounded guys, who knew the local places like the back of their hand.

Was never a problem with anything which happened. Accommodated to all situations and skills exceptionally well.

Would not do another snowboard tour with anyone else but Mint Tours.

If you want the full Canadian winter experience, this is it. No matter where you're from, you can skip the part about being an awkward foreign tourist (you know, having no idea where anything is and having to waste time studying a trail map to figure out where there miiiiight be a good powder stash) and become a local rider through having the best guides and local hook ups. From the hidden off-piste goods, amazing riding and sight-seeing, through to the best bars in town and local board shop deals - this tour has it all sussed out for you.

All you need to bring is a good attitude and a big set of kahunies because there's some epic terrain waiting for you .....

I was lucky enough to be part of Mint Tours' Inaugural 2012 Canada Road Trip, which was such a success , that I had very little persuasion on signing up for the following year and doing it all again in 2013!

I knew what level of organisation and professionalism to expect as I, like a few others on the trip, had been to Japan with Mint Tours.

As we went from location to location, you could see the amount of research Jarred and Mint Tours had put it. All the accommodation was chosen to suit a travelling group perfectly. whether it be on mountain, or off mountain with a shuttle organised every morning. Even the nightlife of the different towns we travelled through was researched so we had some idea of where to eat and drink and have a good time.

But the real reason we were all there was to snowboard, and of course it was nothing short of spectacular. In 2012 we started in Vancouver and did Whistler > Kicking Horse > Revelstoke > Banff and then then flew out of Calgary. in 2013 we started in Calgary and did Kicking Horse > Revelstoke > Whitewater > Fernie and then back to Calgary. For me, both itineraries were great as the mountains selected weren't repetitive and you get to see the different aspects of snowboarding in Canada. Most of the guys on the trip had travelled to Canada to find some deep powder, hidden in the trees and some gnarly terrain. Once we got on the famous "Powder Highway" just looking out the window of the bus was enough to make people stiff in the pants. The addition of Whitewater to the 2013 trip was my highlight. Just staying in the little mining town of Nelson was a real sense of being far from home. The town itself was fantastic with the locals being extremely friendly sharing their favourite spots to go out. We had a dose of good luck when we discovered that the 'Red Bull Ultranatural' was being filmed the same week and most of the snowboarders were even staying in the same Hotel as us. The addition of a meet and greet and getting things signed by the best boarders in the world was an added bonus. The good news is I'm sure Mint Tours has made whitewater a permanent stop on the Canada Road Trip.

Overall I would definitely recommend this for any boarder (or skier) who really puts the quality of terrain first. Mint Tours are constantly fine tuning this trip to provide people with a level of riding you can't get anywhere else in the world. Every mountain we visited, Jarred had organised a guide to show us the best spots, (some secret spots) and the best ways to access sidecounty and slack country. The option for Heli Boarding and Cat Skiing also presnts itself for those wanting to go all the way. When the business owner is snowboarding with you everyday of the trip, you know to expect some high quality stuff.

Do yourself a favour and go with minttours and get on this trip!

Whether you've only been riding for a couple of weeks or are a seasoned veteran, this trip is for you. Even with a diverse range of riding abilities, this trip not only catered to all, but the mountains and snow in Canada allows you to progress very quickly. So if you're a bit concerned you don't have the riding ability to go on this trip, fear not.

The Canada road trip gives you the opportunity to ride some of the best mountains in Canada and possibly the best terrain you will find throughout the world, all the while travelling with a group of riders that you're sure to become great friends with.

I urge you to go on the Canada road trip. It will be an experience you won't forget and will have you hungry for more.

It was one hell of a two week trip.

Mint Tours always delivers the best and most fun tours around, every trip I have made new friends and experienced some of the best powder.

Most importantly I feel like every trip improves my snowboarding just that little bit more!

Great logistics from pick up at Vancouver to drop off at Calgary. As much time on the hill as your legs can handle. Never know about the conditions, but if you have the right attitude, everyday was another groovy experience. Sometimes storm and powder, sometimes sun, beer and eye candy. If you like to have a few during the evening, every night there's opportunity!

Jarred has good local connections and guides for everything you need to know about each area, on and off the hill.

Just do it; what the hell else do you have going?

Probably one of the best trips in my whole snowboarding years!! I saw Mint Tours advertising here and decided it was time to visit Canada. The whole experience was just perfect. Best powder resorts in BC, nice hotels, awesome people and special mention to Jarred, Mint Tours manager. He takes care of every little detail and he is there to motivate you to enjoy every minute of that great experience.

The trip was so great that two weeks later, I was travelling from Spain to Japan with Mint Tours again... Yes, I live in the other part of the world, but Mint is the best snowboard travel agency you could find around the world!!

Just consider this: I am back to Canada Road trip in 2015... And more places to visit with Mint Tours, best guys in the market...

Trip of a lifetime!

2012 was the first Canadian Roadtrip by Mint Tours and it was amazing! Great mountains, great people, great memories.
Riding for 10 days out of a 14 day trip was fantastic. Found some amazing spots to ride thanks to the guided tour of Kicking Horse and it really progressed my riding.

Definitely recommend!
