You must be at minimum an intermediate, keen skier or snowboarder who is comfortable in powder, tree skiing and in varied weather conditions. There are no groomed runs. We do our best to match individuals in groups that have similar abilities.

Bring your ski/snowboard boots – we recommend that you take them on the airplane with you as carry-on luggage. Powder/skis and boards are essential. We do not have rentals so ensure you have appropriate equipment for powder skiing.

Bring all your own outerwear including goggles, helmet and winter walking boots, ski clothes that are suitable for all conditions and temperatures, and swimwear for the sauna.

Yes, we have a variety of powder skis and snowboards for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests can rent skis, poles, or snowboards at the lodge. YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN BOOTS. Please request your equipment when you book your trip, as sizes and quantities are limited.  Ski and snowboard rentals are $50 per day.

We will ski as many runs as the ability of the group, the weather, and daylight allows! On most days this amounts to seven to twelve runs per day and about 12,000 to 18,000 vertical feet. We try to give our guests a full ski day – about 7 to 8 hours. The ascending ride in the snowcat provides time for you to reflect, relax, and catch your breath. You are more than welcome to sit a run out if you find you need more recovery time.

Our runs average 800’ – 3000’ in length. Each run is different, allowing for a variety of styles. Our daily ski program considers group ability, snow and terrain conditions. We offer a variety of tree skiing, mellow open powder zones, and for those who are super keen, we can expand into steep and deep pillows and chutes.

We provide internet access via Starlink. We do not have cell coverage at the lodge, but you can use Wi-Fi calling or other apps. We encourage guests to leave work behind and indulge in the backcountry, so keep screen time to a minimum when at the lodge.
