About Kokanee Glacier Ski Weeks

  • Traveling in the Kokanee Glacier Park backcountry area in winter is recommended only for advanced-intermediate and expert skiers with backcountry experience.
  • Rates: $18,000 per week for a whole cabin booking, including return flights, 7 nights accommodation, and taxes. Travel days are Saturdays. This will appear on the invoice as Saturday to Friday, as the booking indicates the nights booked.
  • The maximum weight for all items (other than people) is 100 lbs per person. All baggage will be weighed and your group may be asked to leave gear behind if your group is over the weight limit. Your group will be charged for additional helicopter flights that are required due to excessive weight.
  • Huts are booked on an exclusive, whole hut, basis. Capacities, group compositions, number of users, or vaccination requirements could vary due to provincial restriction or for any reason. The maximum hut capacity is 15 people.
  • It is not permitted to operate an advertised commercial venture within Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. Individuals may hire professional guides for their trips, but guides may not book and resell places at the hut.
