Guided Skiing at Sorcerer Lodge
Join us for a week of guided backcountry skiing at a classic British Columbia backcountry cabin. Located in a remote part of the Selkirk Mountains near the famous Rogers Pass, Sorcerer Lodge has a deep snowpack and varied terrain that is perfect for ski touring and split boarding.

Big, Varied and deep
Are you tired of the crowds and chasing after your line? Do you want to clip into your bindings and start skiing as soon as you walk out the door? Are you interested in skiing powder snow all day with a group of friends before returning to a comfortable lodge, a sauna, and great food? British Columbia has the answer in the form of several backcountry lodges where a small group of skiers have their private powder paradise awaiting them every morning.
From huge glacier runs off high summits to steep tree and mushroom lines straight out of the door of the lodge, Sorcerer has it all. This combination of terrain and a deep Selkirks snowpack makes it my all-time favourite backcountry lodge. I ski here as much as I can!
basic backcountry
The lodge is simple but comfortable. There is a large boot room, a comfortable common area, dining room, kitchen, and shower on the main floor. There are six double-occupancy bedrooms, each with their own drying area and sink with hot and cold running water. Solar power enables us to charge up our devices but the lodge is internet-free to enable us to concentrate on our skiing! A dry sauna is adjacent to the lodge. There is an indoor pee toilet and two outhouses.
The experience
Mark Klassen has skied at Sorcerer many times and will lead an experienced guiding and lodge team. Great food, great skiing, great terrain and great people make for an unforgettable experience.
