WINTER: Feb 16 - April 2, 2025
Our Winter 2024 season was a stellar success and so we are excited to announce that we will continue with our winter program for 2025! We will open bookings on April 30, 2024 by phone only 403-678-2883.
We will continue to offer small group experiences with a maximum of 12 guests and 2 guides per tour. Our winter season will run from February 16 – April 2, 2025 with two helicopter exchange days on Sundays and Wednesdays(no Fridays) for three night or four night stays. We will again offer one style of ski guiding per tour – either Alpine Ski Touring, or Back Country Nordic. Self guided skiing is not allowed. Our Nordic skiing is not track-set and on unmarked trails so requires guiding. Varying weather conditions can cover up tracks in minutes, making it difficult, if not impossible for guests unfamiliar with the terrain to navigate their way. Please refer to the Ski Tour Schedule below. We will pair our winter adventures with our delicious cuisine and excellent service that you know and love.
We will also continue to accept exclusive private groups of up to 12 people. We are able to accommodate private groups with one ski style only, mixtures of styles cannot be accommodated. Private groups may switch the ski style attached to the dates below to whatever style you want. Imagine yourself and a group of your best friends and family enjoying beautiful Assiniboine Lodge all to yourselves. Make lifetime memories together with your group exploring vast acres of snow covered Rocky Mountains and meadows with legendary views and starry nights in the peace and tranquility of Mt Assiniboine Provincial Park…mind blowing!

Winter 2025 Dates and Program Schedule(one style of skiing per tour):
Schedule is TBA
Alpine Ski Touring - this style of skiing is done when we use Alpine Touring gear which includes a wide ski that allows us to float above the snow and has a heel release and skins. We tour along the alpine meadows with our heals released cross country style, then when we find a nice slope, we “skin” uphill with the intention of getting to the top of the hill. We then take off the skins, lock in our heels to the skis, and ski downhill style to the bottom.
Back Country Nordic Skiing - usually uses a wider ski than a traditional cross-country ski but not as wide as Alpine Touring ski. With BCN we stay along the valley bottoms, cross-country skiing for the most part. It’s not track set but the guide will lead and you follow in his/her tracks through the meadows. Skins are also sometimes used but that is usually to get up a small hill and not with the intention of locking down our heels to get in some downhill turns.
SUMMER 2024: June 21 to September 30, 2024 - SOLD OUT!
*Rates include lodging, all meals starting with afternoon tea and dinner on the first day and ending with breakfast and a packed lunch on departure day and guided hikes on non helicopter exchange days (guided hikes will be provided on helicopter exchange days when possible). Accommodation dates must match our helicopter schedule regardless of whether you plan to hike in or out. We fly on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays(except on long weekends where we fly the holiday Monday rather than Sunday) so check-in/out at the lodge matches these flight days.
