Imagine half a dozen untracked peaks and bowls. Towering summits rising up to touch the sky. Over 3000 acres of gently rolling alpine meadows. This landscape beckons to the backcountry skier, telemark and cross country enthusiasts who come to play. And in the middle of it all, accessible only by helicopter, the finest remote mountain chalet in North America, complete with hot showers, sauna and gourmet food. Welcome to Purcell Mountain Lodge.

Winter 2010

The fully catered winter season starts Monday, February 8 and runs through Friday, March 5.  Fly days are Fridays and Mondays this season, with departure taking place in the mornings so guests are suggested to arrive in Golden the prior evening. 

We are now taking reservations for the winter season for 3, 4 and 7 day fully catered trips for winter enthusiasts.  If you are a new visitor, you can expect to enjoy a variety of terrain suitable for alpine ski touring, telemark skiing, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.  

Contact us at info@purcellmountainlodge.com for reservations. Alternatively, you can call the office at 250.344 2639 and leave a message and we will return your call shortly as in the fall, it's time to take a few days off between the summer and winter seasons, to enjoy the fall colours.

Guests and friends of the Lodge have posted videos and photos of their trips, in both winter and summer on Youtube and in our Facebook group "Purcell Mountain Lodge Alumni".  Check them out and see how others enjoyed their trip.

After your day of exertion, reward your muscles with a stint in the sauna followed by delectable appetizers, a drink and followed with a chef prepared meal that will help rejuvenate you for the next days adventures!
