Saturday – Sunday, Intermediate and Advanced Ski
The Canadian Rockies provide some of the most scenic skiing on the planet and on this trip we’ll ski right into the heart of the Rockies as we spend three nights in the historic Skoki Lodge, a national historic site. It is rustic and isolated. So rustic that it has outhouses and doesn’t have electricity. So isolated that the only way in is to ski 11 km through the backcountry. You’ll need to be an intermediate skier to make it into this lodge. Six of us will share a cabin, sleeping on bunk beds and cots for three nights. Clearly not the Ritz-Carlton but Skoki does make up for these hardships by providing excellent meals and access to some of the best skiing in the Rockies. Depending on abilities, we’ll explore the bowls or canyons around the lodge. Short of snow camping in a tent there is no better way to experience this wilderness.
Since we’ve made the drive all the way up to Lake Louise, after Skoki we’ll kick back by staying four more nights at a condo in the Canmore area. From here we can enjoy the usual skiing the Rockies offer with everything from world-class skate skiing to downhill and in between.
