K3 now has two backcountry lodges- the South Park Lodge and the Far Side Lodge- each of them nearly identical timber-frame structures. Upstairs there are 8 cozy bedrooms, each bedroom has a full size bed with a 3-piece ensuite bathroom. Downstairs there is a gear room equipped with individual lockers, boot and glove dryers. The lodge has a well appointed kitchen where our chef will prepare all the meals. Meals are served family style around the large dining room table. The lounge with fireplace is a good place to enjoy the craft beer we have on tap or you may prefer to choose from our selection of fine wines from around the world. The lodges have limited cell phone service and we do have a satellite phone for emergencies. The daily rate includes your own private bedroom, all meals, and small group skiing with 8-10 guests in the cat.
Guests will meet at Last Spike Lodging, 4885 Lybarger Road (43 kilometers west of Revelstoke, about a 30 minute drive) by 5 PM on the day before your first day of skiing. Look for Last Spike Lodging, on your right, just a 1/4 mile or so after you turn off the highway onto Lybarger Road. From the secure parking here, transportation will be provided to the lodge you're assigned to. Travel time from the Last Spike Lodging is about 45 minutes. After checking in, dinner will be served at 7:00 PM. On your first morning, starting at 8:00 AM, there will be a review of Snowcat Safety and an Avalanche Rescue practice. On all other days we will depart from the lodge around 8:45 AM returning to the lodge in the afternoon between 3:30 and 4:00 PM.
