Our Story

Incorporated into society in 1993 the Beaver Mountain Snowmobile Association (BMSA), which is a non-profit society, has through long time support, dedication and pride provided a premier winter recreation activity area in the jewel of the West Kootenays. As a commitment to the sport, the communities we live and the environment we play, the BMSA strongly supports the sport of snowmobiling in our area, the safe use of snowmobiles, avalanche awareness, environmental stewardship and important responsibility of the respectful and caring use of the backcountry.

Boasting routinely groomed trails up the tenured Archibald Basin forestry access roads, the BMSA provides safe access for back country enthusiasts of all ages, gender and ride experience tp explore and play in our natural backyard playground. Nestled between Blizzard, Kelly and Beaver Mountains, the valleys and slopes associated with the BMSA’s riding area provides a safe haven for all to experience, while taking in the breathtaking scenery along the journey. With a selection of family groomed trails leading into playful meadow basin, or climbing challenging and advanced terrain through the trees or above and through deep powdered snow, an enjoyable and everlasting experience will be held by all. Amongst friendly folks, a day of experiencing magnificent views of snow bowls, ghost trees, windswept ridges and fresh cool air will leave families and friends with everlasting fond memories.

The Beaver Mountain Snowmobile Association’s goal is to promote a safe, enjoyable and environmentally family friendly backcountry experience for all outdoor enthusiasts. Striving to fulfill our goal allows for our members, families and friends to take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but tracks and great memories.
