Sunrise Lodge (Golden Alpine Holidays)

Dates: February 13-20, 2010

Golden Alpine Holidays operates four backcountry ski lodges in British Columbia’s famous Selkirk Mountains. This year Mountain Ascents will visit Golden Alpine’s most sought after location – Sunrise Lodge. Sunrise has been in high demand since the mid ‘80s due to its fantastic ski terrain. It offers a great blend of north-face tree skiing, acres of excellent alpine skiing and opportunity for ski ascents of nearby peaks.
The lodge has recently undergone major interior and exterior renovations and is now sporting an entirely new look – but its backcountry charm is still maintained. Lodge amenities include a cozy wood-heated common area, two-person bedrooms upstairs, a spacious propane-heated dry room and a very hot sauna.

Group size limited to 10 guests.

Access to the lodge is by helicopter from Golden, BC. Most parties arrive at the Calgary International Airport and drive (or bus) three hours west to Golden.
Cost: $2,000.00 Cdn plus 5% GST. Price includes helicopter flight, food, accommodation and guiding.
