Big News from Powder Creek Lodge!

  • 2014-09-17 11:10:17

    Hello Powderhounds!  Shelley and I are stoked to be taking over the ownership and day-to-day operations of Powder Creek Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Lodge.  For those that have been there, you know that Heather and Guus built a first-class operation.  Come check out our heli-access, deluxe, alpine lodge in the Western Purcells.  The lodge is perched at 7100 feet with panoramic, stunning views in every direction.  For adventurous skiers and boarders, we have over 17,000 acres in the tenure, a consistently deep snowpack and a remote backcountry feel.  No heli-skiers, sledders or clear cuts around here!  Variable terrain options provide something for everyone:  short and mellow, natural glades, steep couloirs and three-thousand foot, north-facing runs.  Spend a week with your group of 12 with options to add guided and/or catering.  Only a couple weeks left for 2015 and already 30% booked for 2016!  Staging out of Nelson and Kaslo.


    Look forward to skiing and boarding with you!
