One of the best things about Boulder Hut is the huge variety of terrain on offer - from alpine bowls, to climbing couloirs to some of the best glade skiing in BC. With two ACC guides on the camp we'll be able to split the group based on desired pace and objectives. 

Prominent peaks in or near the Boulder Hut tenure include: Mt. Levesque, Boulder Peak, Ptarmigan Peak, Grace Peak and Mt. Fay. You can view the full map of Boulder Hut's tenure (complete with marked runs) below under Adventure Map.

•  
• Day 1: Meet in Kimberley, BC, where you will be introduced to your group and your guides. Travel to nearby staging area where you will fly into the Boulder Hut by private helicopter (expect beautiful views of the Purcells on a clear day). There will still be plenty of time for a first day of skiing once you arrive and unpack. This is a good opportunity to review gear, companion and crevasse rescue skills briefly before being orientated to the area by your guides. 
• Day 2 - 7: There are so many great objectives accessible from the hut that we can't really speculate on exactly how each day will look. Each evening the group and guides will gather in the hut to discuss and decide on objectives and groups for the next day. Clear weather days will see you tackle bigger lines in the alpine, when the snow flies (as it frequently does in these parts), you'll have some of the best tree skiing in BC on offer. 
• Day 8: Final debrief, goodbyes, pack up and an opportunity to take some final pictures of the hut and views before travelling back to Kimberley by helicopter.

Intermediate - Advanced

Boulder Hut offers a good range of skiing for both advanced participants and those looking to take things more easy. As a minimum, we require skiers or splitboarders with prior knowledge of backcountry skiing, a good level of all round fitness, confident downhill ski abilities in variable snow conditions and familiarity with equipment and avalanche transceivers. Participants should be able to ski the equivalent of blue runs in backcountry conditions with a daypack.

Food

Evenings will be spent enjoying great food, socializing in cozy hut surroundings and resetting for the next day’s skiing. Food supplies will be flown in by helicopter (no dehydrated stuff here, there's fresh meat, vegetables and fruit) and cooked up by dedicated chefs. All meals are designed to be healthy, sumptuous and plentiful and special dietary needs can be accommodated. Because we want you to be able to focus on the powder not the cooking!
