Hut Trips
Imagine staying in a remote mountain cabin, with ski in ski out access. Incredible powder skiing right out the front door! British Columbia has many mountain huts which access world class powder skiing. They range from your basic mountain shelters, to helicopter accessed lodges with full services.
Whatever your budget or schedule, let us help you organize your Canadian hut trip.
This program is designed for skiers and boarders of intermediate riding ability and above. No experience in the backcountry is necessary, but to get the most out of your trip, groups should be of similar riding ability and fitness. An additional guide may be used if group size is greater than 4, or if there is a difference in ability within the group. You should feel comfortable on all blue runs in the ski resort, and have a need to ride powder! A minimum of a strong fitness level is required (you are able to hike uphill with a small backpack for up to 3 hours at a time, and be comfortable doing this for multiple days in succession). Travel may include boot packing and carrying skis for short sections to access ski lines.
