The meadows and mountains around the cabins hold some of the most reliable powder snow in the province. Take a fully guided, catered week — or bring your own crew and rent the whole hut.
Two ways in
Everything handled: hearty meals and snacks, certified guides, chalet accommodation, transport from Clearwater, and avalanche safety equipment — transceivers, shovels and training included. Trips like the 6- and 7-day Trophy–Discovery traverse link the huts through the alpine.
Guided offerings vary by season — confirm current trips and dates with the operator.
A whole chalet for your own party — self-guided, self-catered, five-night minimum (six over Christmas, New Year, Easter and Spring Break). Groups must be able to demonstrate real backcountry experience and avalanche training, and every guest signs a waiver.
Published 2026–27 rates, plus tax. Larger groups pay the small per-person add-on above the base occupancy.
Getting up there
Trophy: the snowcat runs your group 14 km and 3,200 ft up the Spahats Valley — $400 per trip for up to 12 skiers and gear. From the trailhead it’s a 1,700 ft skin, two to four hours, to the chalet. On the way out, a snowmobile assist ($250) can take the heavy packs.
Discovery & Fight Meadow: helicopter in. Fly out at week’s end, or — with advance approval and solid navigation skills — ski out the long way.
Published 2026–27 helicopter pricing; subject to fuel surcharges. Four passengers per flight.

On full-service weeks, avalanche transceivers, shovels and training are part of the package, and ACMG-certified guides read the snowpack daily.
Self-guided groups carry the responsibility themselves: appropriate backcountry expertise, avalanche knowledge and training are required — this is remote, unpatrolled terrain, and the operator vets every party.
Winter fills in the fall
Most winter guests come back year after year — new dates are released each spring and the rest fill through autumn.
