Cabin Rentals
Self-Guided and Self-Catered Cabin Rental
Our three small lodges are perfect for self guided winter ski groups. The lodges are very easy to operate with propane and solar as the main energy source. The lodges are very comfortable but not too fancy and that keeps the price at a fair level for ski groups.This area is rightfully famous for its snowpack as we get one of the most consistent snowfalls in BC. The terrain really makes this a classic place to ski. All three lodges are situated in very skiable and manageable terrain: groups can ski around the cabin without big exposure, and more experienced skiers can go further a field and explore the bigger features. All in all, this is a very user friendly place, and that is why 80% of our winter guests are return guests.
We provide full facilities; you bring your own food.
The minimum rental period is four nights, except during the Christmas, New Year, Easter and Spring Break holidays, when it is five.
The maximum group-size possible is twelve.
We permit self-guided groups based on one cabin, as long as the group includes an appropriate number of people with suitable experience of skiing this kind of terrain.

It is possible to fly smaller numbers or freight-only, but costs will include ferry time from the Clearwater helipad at the hourly rate. We will confirm total costs at the time of booking.
Please note that it is possible to ski out from all the cabins, but that you must clear this with us before starting the trip, as the route is long and can involve some tricky navigational challenges, particularly in difficult conditions.
