For memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

For memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Our season runs from mid-December to mid-April with an average snowfall of 1500 cm (600 inches) annually. Skiing takes place in the Badshot Range of the Selkirk Mountains. This region benefits from regular snowfall, very little wind, and relatively moderate temperatures — conditions that skiers worldwide have come to recognize as the best and most consistent for wilderness backcountry skiing.

Your adventure begins from our secluded mountain lodge, built specifically with skiers in mind. From the moment you arrive every detail is taken care of. Our state-of-the-art snowcat effortlessly transports you to the upper alpine ridges of Great Northern and Thompson Mountains. Only 16 guests each week have access to 75 sq. km. (30 square miles) of expansive and varied terrain. Two guides accompany the group of skiers and will do all they can to find the best snow and terrain for the group. Skiers are provided with avalanche transceivers and instruction and practice in their use. Our guides have many years of backcountry skiing experience and will offer help and instruction in all conditions. They are dedicated professionals and are committed to looking after your safety and enjoyment.

Skiers with a sense of adventure who are looking for an escape from civilization, lifts, line-ups and crowds will be pleasantly rewarded.

Please remember, we offer wilderness skiing in an uncontrolled environment. Skiers should be of at least advanced intermediate ability. Weather and snow conditions can change quickly. Powder snow is predominant, but skiers must be prepared for a wide range of snow qualities in both alpine and treed settings.

Consider our lodge your home away from home.

Consider our lodge your home away from home. Its from here that your adventure begins.

Combine your exciting backcountry adventure with all the modern comforts of our private mountain lodge. The fresh mountain air and cozy accommodations assure a good night's sleep. Bedrooms are single or double occupancy, all with private bathrooms.

After a full day of skiing, renew your tired muscles in a hot sauna, enjoy après-ski recreation in our spacious common room, or simply relax by the fire. From eclectic to extraordinary, our chef prepares fresh daily the finest in gourmet cuisine. You will find getting acquainted with your fellow skiers an international experience at our casual, family-style dining table.

We take pride in our dedication to excellent service and friendly hospitality. Whether you come with friends or are traveling solo, you will receive a genuine warm welcome from our Great Northern family.

Snowcat

Snowcat Great Northern operates with Kassbohrer's newest, state of the art Pisten Bully 300's. With these quiet (no ear protection necessary) and powerful snowcats, skiers have the comfort of knowing that they will be able to ski all day everyday, even when it is stormy. The fully enclosed snowcat cabin is spacious and warm. The clean, smooth snowcat rides of 15-20 minutes give you time to relax, clean off your goggles, warm up between runs and share the day's experience with new friends.
