A NOTE ABOUT THE SITUATION: We are currently unable to book this trip due to delays in the permitting process through BC Parks. They are building a new approval process which was set back by COVID closures. We have every reason to be confident that we will be issued a permit, we just don’t have a timeline from BC Parks as they work diligently to catch up. We have the highest respect for this process as it serves and protects the lands we are in love with. Thank you for your patience.
We are working on new and exciting locations for Spring 2024, so please stay tuned and get in touch to join the mailing list!
THE EXPERIENCE
You’re on a sailboat, crossing a large expanse of inland sea. In the distance are snow-capped mountains, steadily growing right out of the water. As you enter the mouth of the inlets, they tower above you on all sides.
Anchored as far in as possible, it’s time to go up - on foot through lush temperate rainforest, on ski up the gully to base camp, and up the ridges towards your goal. You are on your way to ski one of the more remote and stunning landscapes North America has to offer.
It’s not always the perfect weather. It’s not always the perfect snow conditions. It is always the perfect adventure.

About US
sail 2 ski by sail bainbridge
Sail Bainbridge is a private charter company owned and operated by Captain Ben Doerr. Based out of Bainbridge Island, the company began with a focus on day sails and multi-day excursions throughout Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.
With an eye for adventure, Captain Ben noted that sailing doesn’t need to be confined to the summer months, and a sailboat can provide the perfect platform for a deeper exploration of our region and all it has to offer.
Following a discussion over a few beers, the idea was launched, sponsorship secured, a team assembled and a pilot trip successfully executed.
It turns out there is snow in British Columbia, and you can get to it by sail boat - and now you can join us!
