After a day of adventures into a remote mountain wilderness making your way up to the Journeyman Lodge, embrace the comfort of the Journeyman Lodge, lay back by the crackling fire and enjoy a delicious hand-crafted meal.
Come get cozy with friends or family and enjoy quality time away from the craziness of shopping frenzies and technological distractions. The luxury of any backcountry experience is that it is a true escape from our everyday lives, it’s characterized by genuine human interaction etching memories of character and warmth.
Since it takes some time to build our reliable world class xc ski trails and the unconsolidated powder is a snowshoer's paradise, we’re offering an exclusive 15% off savings for snowshoers to make that call of the wild that much easier to respond to.
Skeptical of conditions ? Doubt no more ! Here is a snapshot of the lovely weather conditions that our guests encountered last year at the start of December. Remember, when it's raining in the valley, it's likely dumping snow in Callaghan's Solitude Valley.
