The hut has skiing directly below it and directly above it. If the avalanche danger is high, there is plenty of ski able terrain in protected trees. The longest shots are 3000 vert. Having snowmobiles, allows for towing to more distant drainages beyond the hut's own drainage. You couldn't ski all the terrain there in a week, even if your group is strong. The goal is 50/50 male/female. The guides will fire-up the sauna any night you want. The food is a home-cooked multi-course affair. I have been to Fairy Meadows, and I prefer this hut because it is smaller, no heli issues, and has a real Canadian locals flair. Call me if you have further questions.

Looks wonderful! I am a strong tele skier with hut trip experience (Fairy Meadows). Curious about the group you've got pulled together. I understand the hut is accessed via snowmobile, how about the skiing? I have no experience driving one but am happy to learn (one more adventure). Also, any chance there's a sauna in the bargain :) Thanks for the sending the invite into the web-world. My girlfriend sent it to me. I’m interested in knowing more about this trip. Looks wonderful!
