British Columbia, Canada

Our fly in/fly out weekend at Assiniboine Lodge. Snagging a last minute cancellation was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. With its remote location and notoriously limited bookings, we jumped at the chance to go. The timing was tight, as it was days after our trip to Skoki, but with a cabin and a helicopter flight available, we were ready and eager to visit this bucket list location.

It was an absolute winter wonderland and my first time going on a group hut trip. We hauled out sleds of gear before settling in for a few days of back-country skiing. Located 2 km from the parking lot, it’s a great place to familiarize yourself with ACC huts and multi-day back-country ski trips.

Sometimes the gravel road leads to some magic.
