Icefall Lodge, British Columbia, Overview

Canadian backcountry lodge-based powder skiing in British Columbia is something every backcountry skier should experience at least once in their life. Many make it an annual pilgrimage. We are excited to offer a week at the Icefall Lodge featuring wood fired cedar sauna and an indoor toilet. Lodging is in private rooms with double occupancy. We will have a chef on hand to create gourmet meals for our week of powder skiing.

The incredible terrain accessed via the Icefall Lodge is a mix of glaciated high alpine and lower tree skiing. So in almost all weather conditions, we are assured of ski options. And on stable bluebird days, there is the option of going big in big terrain with runs up to 6500 feet vertical. Some of the best alpine ski terrain found anywhere!

We meet in the town of Golden, BC. where we board a helicopter for the flight into the Icefall Lodge. Calgary is the closest major airport. We then have 5 full days of skiing with perhaps some extra skiing on the fly in and fly out days. Evenings are spent relaxing in the community area around the woodstove and enjoying the meals our chef has created for us.

Join the IAG team in Canada in March 2025! Spots are very limited for this special powder skiing experience.
