SOL MOUNTAIN LODGE

Sol Mountain Lodge is a short helihop from Hwy 6, an easily accessible drive east of Vernon, B.C. The Monashees are known for cold, dry powder, and Sol Mountain Lodge offers a fabulous backcountry experience in more than 12,000 hectares. Sol is a leader in sustainability; its power is generated by a micro hydro power station and every effort is made to reduce waste. Skiing ranges from long open bowls a half-day from the lodge, to steep chutes, pillow lines and mini-golf-style terrain, to night-skiing every full moon. Avalanche courses are available as well.

Cool stat: One of Sol’s primo day tours explores the flanks of Mount Baldur, which apparently translates as the “Norse God of Powder Goodness.”
