It seems you cannot get away with the same stuff in BC that you can in Alberta and parts of the States. It may be due to the fact that many of the main highways in BC are not divided, the roads wind through mountains with few long straight stretches and with considerable elevation change and...
If Valemount is closest then go there as it is central. You can ride McBride, Valemount and Blue River from Valemount although you might not want to head to Blue River for your first mountain ride. As was mentioned earlier make sure you both purchase a shovel and probe and each rent a beacon if...
