About the lodge:
The lodge was built recently to replace the yurts there previously. The lodge is located around treeline at 2100 m, with 1000 ft of alpine bowls above the lodge and 1,000 ft below the lodge of great tree skiing with terrain and tours for all levels of skiers. Safe terrain around the lodge and progressively more advanced terrain as you explore further afield. Accommodation is bunkbeds grouped into 8 bedrooms - so no one has to share a room with the baby ;) There are composting indoor toilets, a hut custodian, and most importantly - a sauna! There's lots of amazing photo's on their website: http://www.backcountryskilodge.ca/
