Purden Ski Village is the largest ski mountain in central British Columbia, and provides some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the province.
Over 1,100 vertical feet of skiing on dry powder snow, treed runs and uncrowded slopes makes Purden Ski Village a paradise for skiers. The longest run (Lakeview) has over two km of fabulous terrain!
Purden Ski Village is located 38 miles (60 km) due east of Prince George on the Yellowhead Highway, and 91 miles (145 km) northwest of McBride. The mountain is a 4-km drive north of the highway.
