Ski Touring
Icefall Lodge- Remote backcountry ski touring lodge nestled in the Canadian Rockies, north of Golden, British Columbia. Deep powder, steep trees, ski summits, long runs and spectacular glaciers make this the best ski holiday in the world
Choose from:
Over 200 square km (50,000 acres) of prime ski terrain.
The remote location ensures no other skiers, just the group you came with. No other commercial operations such as heliskiing are allowed in the tenure area.
A deep, reliable snowpack. Located on the western side of the divide, the high peaks to the east provide the lifting that results in huge snowfalls. The many glaciers surrounding the lodge are evidence of the consistently deep snowpack.
The longest ski runs of any ski touring hut in Canada. The ski run from the summit of Mount Kemmel(10,300) descends almost 7000 feet through Rostrum Valley to Icefall Brook (3400 feet).
Many ski summits including Mount Lyell; with 5 peaks over 11,000 ft, these are the highest ski summits of any hut in British Columbia.
High elevation. This is responsible for the deep snow and large glaciers. It also means colder snow during warm weather and a ski season that extends into June. It allows many more options for trips than available at other huts.
The Lyell Glacier is one of over 30 glaciers that can be accessed from the lodge. This glacier alone covers over 40 square km.
