Pemberton Ski Touring Lodge
The Pemberton area boasts some of the best ski touring in the Sea-to-Sky right, in the backyard! From the peaks of the Upper Lillooet and Meager areas and the Birkenhead to the Duffey, Joffre Lakes and Mt. Currey areas. And while a lot of it is quite popular there's also a ton of seldom skied areas just begging for tracks as as well. This program is designed to take advantage all that powder.
We'll be based out of a comfortable lodge just outside the town of Pemberton for 4.5 days and head into a new area each day depending on the weather and snow conditions. Some of the zones/objectives that would be on the menu would include:
- Mystery Creek / Mt. Curry area
- Goat Peak area
- Ipsoot / Rhododendron area
- Saxifrage area
- Mt. Slalok & Matier area
Access:
Many of the ski touring areas can be accessed via a short drive while others will require a heli drops or possibly a snowmobile ride. To ensure that we have a bunch of options available the Pemberton Ski Touring Lodge trip includes access to a snowmobile and budget for 2 heli drops. This will open up a ton of amazing ski terrain that's off the beaten path.
Accommodation:
This program will be based out of a comfortable lodge 5 minutes west of Pemberton. There's a private hot-tub, full kitchen, 9 beds spread over 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a couple of great lounge areas to relax and stretch after a big day of skiing.
