Terrain, ability and who it is for
- 17,000 acres of exceptional terrain
- Our average annual snowfall of 60 feet of dry, champagne powder can get you fresh tracks every run on our five alpine ridges, spectacular natural glades and fantastic open tree skiing.
- The lodge is located at 1600 meters (5290 feet) and the peaks are approximately 2500 meters or 8000 feet.
- We normally ski 10 - 14 runs per day. On the first day of your ski holiday you will likely ski approximately 12,000 vertical feet due to the morning beacon search. On subsequent days you will ski between 15,000 and 18,000 vertical feet.
- We ski a variety of slopes during the day, the steepness that we ski is dictated by the group’s ability and by the avalanche hazards.
- Guests must be very strong intermediate skiers capable of dealing with deep powder snow in the backcountry as there aren’t any groomed blue runs.
- Powder skis make skiing deep snow much easier for any skier; however, you should be comfortable skiing black diamond runs.
- Snowboarders and telemark skiers need to have expert abilities and be experienced in all backcountry conditions including treed terrain.
- Skiers or Boarders must be 14 years of age and each one must be accompanied on the snow by a Skiing or Boarding Adult over 19 years of age.

Our Main Lodge is inviting with an open dining room, wine bar and separate lounge area upstairs. Downstairs is complete with the full service Treewell Bar, pool table, flat-screen TV, comfortable couches and breathtaking vistas of the Monashee Mountains.
The Guest Chalet, completed in November 2010, is a 3-storey (6000 sq ft) lodge that sleeps all 24 guests in 16 bedrooms. Each room has its own en-suite and thermostat to control the in-floor heating.
The Guest Chalet has fourteen double-occupancy rooms and two single rooms. Please ask if you need a single room because you are travelling alone, snore loudly or are a light sleeper.
