Callaghan Country welcomes all guests to the magnificence of the Powder Mountain / Mount Callaghan wilderness area. Whether you are a seasoned pro athlete or just starting in the world of ski touring, Callaghan Country offers the most phenomenal skiing in British Columbia’s Coast Mountain Range.

“The overnight lodge is surrounded on three sides by glaciated summits and offers everything from high alpine bowls and glacier skiing to glades, pillow drops and gently rolling terrain. The closet runs drop 750m on North facing slopes that terminate less than a half-kilometer from the lodge. Look beyond weekend packages. There is easily enough terrain here to keep a keen group of skiers busy for a week.”

~ John Baldwin “Exploring the Coast Mountains on Skis”
