Powder Creek Lodge Opening Early!

    Powder Creek Lodge Opening Early!

    Interested in some Kootenay Cold Smoke??? We just returned from a recon mission to the lodge. Snowpack 120cm at treeline already. We are about 3 weeks ahead of schedule and looks like a lot more snow forecast starting this weekend.  Photo is from Nov 8.

    We normally book 3 years out so this is a unique opportunity.  We have added an extra trip this year.  Still space available on our 'bonus' trip, Dec 12-17. Self-guided and self-catered, sweet price at only $850! Even snowboarders are allowed.
