Winter 2010

What could be a better beginning to the year than spending it in the backcountry?  No need to be a expert telemark skier, but if you are there is plenty of powder this year!  Perhaps you prefer to enjoy a peaceful cross country ski with your best friend or partner, or want a great snowshoe workout, then a hot sauna before a gourmet dinner? Did you forget what the stars looked like at night living in the city?  Remember the complete stillness as the snow muffles the sound and the awesome beauty as you glide through the meadow in between the mountain ranges?

Join us for the season's opener event and ring in the New Year, all on the same adventure, Monday, December 28 to January 2! Email for special rates and details (and you can also see which alumni are returning for midnight toboganning )

The fully catered winter season starts Monday, February 8 and runs through Friday, March 5.  Fly days are Fridays and Mondays this season, with departure taking place in the mornings so guests are suggested to arrive in Golden the prior evening.  

Purcell Mountain Lodge is North America's finest mountain ecolodge.  For further information on availabilities, special interests or bookings, please email us at  info@purcellmountainlodge.com or call our office at 250 344 2639.
