The cabins

Built in 1988. Kept warm ever since.

Three chalets strung through the Trophy and Fight Mountain alpine — each with its own terrain, its own weather, its own regulars.

Cabin № 1 · 7,000 ft / 2,145 m

Trophy Mountain Chalet

Right at treeline and in the steepest terrain of the system. Alpine bowls open from the back of the chalet, tree skiing falls away from the front — ridges, gullies and chutes in every direction, with runs of 800 to 1,500 vertical feet close by and 2,000-plus further out. Even in rough weather there are protected stashes on many aspects.

Winter access is half the story: a snowcat hauls your group and gear 14 km up the Spahats Valley, and from the trailhead it’s a two-to-four hour skin — about 1,700 ft — to the door. Helicopter gear flights can carry the heavy loads so you climb light.

Cabin № 2 · 6,400 ft / 1,970 m

Discovery Cabin

Spruce and cedar inside, eight small rooms so everyone gets a door to close. Discovery sits in a valley that holds powder: steeps at the back, subalpine meadows at the front, and longer intermediate runs with unbroken fall lines — including north-facing slopes that stay cold and soft.

You fly in by helicopter. At week’s end most groups fly out too; skiing out is possible for strong parties with route-finding and avalanche skills, arranged with the operator in advance.

Cabin № 3 · Subalpine meadows

Fight Meadow Chalet

A vast subalpine meadow system — the operator calls it some of the best touring terrain in BC, and it suits every ability: gentle rolls for a first tour or snowshoe, plenty beyond for those who want to push. In winter the chalet is reached by helicopter.

Come summer, Fight Meadow is the self-guided base: a 9.5 km hike in from the Battle Access trailhead (high-clearance 4WD only), the last stretch about three hours beyond Philip Lake, to a chalet at 6,300 ft with wildflowers to the horizon.
