The Monashees lodge is famous for epic tree-skiing in steep terrain where you can blast through powder in old growth forests by day, and relax and recoup on the rooftop hot tub by night. The lodge is built on the banks of the mighty Columbia River with epic panoramic views.
The Skiing
The Monashees boasts long, consistently steep tree skiing with deep, hugely reliable powder snow. As perhaps the most challenging of all the CMH areas the Monashees is recommend for experienced skiers only. The Monashees has 1487 sq km of skiable terrain and an average annual snowfall of 20 metres.
