Our lodge is accessible only by snowcat

From our Meadow Creek office, we transport you by snowcat up to our lodge, tucked away at 1280 meters (4200 feet) in the Selkirk Mountains. Meet at 4pm on arrival days at our office in Meadow Creek. From there you will be shuttled with your luggage to the lodge in two groups of 12 at approximately 4:30pm and 5pm. On the morning of your departure, the first snowcat leaves the lodge at 7am, followed closely by the second. Do not expect to be on the road to your next destination until 8:30 am. When booking your flights, please allow for the timing on our end. Due to our remote location and the logistics involved, transportation outside our regular schedule may not be possible and will be subject to a surcharge.
