This is the ulitimate getaway deep into the Canadian Rockies. All skiing is self-propelled once you have landed at the lodge. Touring possibilities are endless once you are stationed at the Lodge. With Mt. Kemmel 10,300 ft, Mt. La Clyte 9,500 ft, and Mt. Lyell 11,122 ft, immediately surrounding the lodge, there is no end to terrain within an hour walk.
