Toby Creek Adventures is a family-owned and operated business.

We love sharing our backyard with our guests!

When you become our guest, you become part of our family and the fun—whether for an hour, a day, or a multi-day tour.

Toby Creek Adventures (TCA) was founded in the winter of 1996 when we began offering snowmobile tours on the iconic Greywolf Golf Course at Panorama Mountain Resort. Within a few years, we relocated across the Toby Creek River and to the historic Paradise Mine site, where we started using the original 1901 “world-class wagon road” to the Paradise Mine and Basin for our snowmobile and ATV tours. Over the years, we acquired most of the land, extending from our base to the alpine just above the upper Mine Shaft and Paradise cabin. We feel fortunate as our property features many sought-after natural assets, including an impressive waterfall, a stunning larch forest and an alpine cabin steeped in silver mining history—creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. We also provide an exclusive experience, including privately groomed snowmobile trails in the winter and no crows in the summer. We love and enjoy sharing our backyard with our winter and summer guests.

Our certified CMBGA guides and experienced staff are long-time local residents who bring unmatched knowledge and passion for the area. We have ten full-time employees, and many of our seasonal guides and staff own and operate summer construction, landscaping or tourism businesses and return to run our winter snowmobile and summer ATV operations each season. We value attracting and retaining key tourism talent in our region.

The #1 reason for our success is that we are here for you—our valued guests. At TCA, our guests are at the heart of everything we do. Sharing our passion for our mountain playground is not just our job—it’s our purpose. We love what we do, feel fortunate to live and work in a big mountain playground, and love sharing our passion with our guests. It’s our why—why we are here, do this, and live in a fantastic mountain community. 

TCA is an industry leader and a member of various professional industry organizations, including a founding organization of the Canadian Association of Motorized Backcountry Guides Association (CMBGA) and the original British Columbia Commercial Snowmobile Operators Association (BCCSOA). Additionally, TCA is an official Bombardier Recreation Products (BRP) Ski-Doo and Can-Am Uncharted Society tour operator. We are honoured to be chosen as one of the select Canadian tour providers to represent the notable BRP Ski-Doo and Can-Am brands. 

TCA is a long-standing, award-winning Columbia Valley success story that has forged strong partnerships with tourism organizations and accommodations in eastern British Columbia and Alberta. These partnerships include long-term relationships with Travel Columbia Valley and Banff & Lake Louise Tourism. While motorized tours are not permitted within our National Parks, our private property provides an ideal destination for Banff and Canmore guests seeking the quintessential Canadian summer and winter experiences.
