Preparing for a winter tour at Ice Creek Lodge.
I have been doing hit trips in BC for 14 years and Ice Creek Lodge takes the cake. The best ‘Home Zone” skiing I have seen and with the park only one saddle away the touring is mind-blowing. Russell and Courtney are top-notch and keep the lodge humming like a well-oiled machine.
