Information - Terrain

"Ice Creek accesses some of the best big mountain terrain in the province right out the front door. The lodge is in the heart of the action, and the people have a unique spirit for getting out and getting after it. Probably the sweetest backcountry touring lodge in the Kootenays."

--Mitchell Scott,
Senior Correspondent
Powder Magazine

"Ice Creek Lodge creates a world class experience, right from the helicopter ride into the private lodge, to the guides and the great runs that you will have on the mountains there, sweet, absolutely sweet."

"After our trip to the Valhalla's, standing back at our cars I felt as though I was at a concert and the lights were on, but I was not yet sober. The week went by too fast, and I was so jealous of the four boys who flew in as we flew out, about to experience a taste of heaven. It took me a week to come down off that high, and today I realized life goes on."

"This lodge is well situated with much of its terrain being on north facing slopes which is great for maintaining snow quality. We had a great week of backcountry skiing, in scenic mountainous terrain, with many long (thigh burning) descents on north facing slopes."

---Fred Thiessen,

"I think the thing that separates Ice Creek from allot of places is their varied terrain. They have everything from high alpine big lines, to great glades through the tree's, pillow lines, cliffs, pretty much everything you could ever want."

---Chris Ankeny,
Bozeman Montana

"It is rare I get the chance to work in an area that has such a diverse amount of terrian, big peaks, great trees and gnarly lines waiting for those perfect days. Ice Creek is a lodge run by skiers for skiers. Keep the stoke alive!!
