About Us
Our organization’s mission is to manage outdoor recreation in Blue River. We take a community centered approach to drive sustainable tourism with a focus on safety and environmental stewardship. We are an integral part of the Blue River economic environment and a respected provider of recreational opportunities creating a healthy, vibrant, equitable, and inclusive community.

By bridging recreation with community development, we ensure that our industry not only thrives but also contributes positively to local prosperity and community well-being.
We are part of the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation.
SBR was established in the early 1990’s as a small social club.
We are proud of how much has been accomplished.
What We Do
1. We maintain safe, environmentally considerate and fiscally sustainable access to alpine zones in the Blue River area. See GROOMING STATUS PAGE here.
2. We are Environmental Stewardship ambassadors. Management Agreements are developed and provide a pathway for us to minimize any impact of recreational tourism on the environment. Each of us are accountable to ensure our sport does not adversely affect the iconic Mountain Caribou. Learn what we are doing to support encourage their recovery in the valley.
