Sol Mountain Lodge - March 9-15

[thefortrees]

My wife and I signed up a year ago for a 6 night guided/catered trip to Sol Mountain Lodge (in the Monashees) from March 9-15. Unfortunately she has to cancel the trip. The trip is prepaid - I am still going, but am hoping to transfer her slot so I don't lose the full cost.

This will be the third year I'm staying at Sol Mountain. Why do I keep going back? This place rules. The snowpack in the Monashees is super reliable (they are currently close to a 3m snowpack depth) and the variety of terrain outside of the lodge is incredible - easy to get to steep trees, pillow lines, and into the alpine. You can get in as much or as little skiing as you want here... short half days and back for lunch, or come home with the headlamp on. Easy access means you ski on arrival and departure days. The lodge is more like a hotel with wifi, showers, toilets, etc.

Amazing place. I'm in the week before. To me it's the best tree skiing there is

Couldn’t agree more. See you on transfer day

[thefortrees]

Bueller? Bueller? How about $1,400 usd?

I'd do this in a heartbeat if present circumstances allowed. Someone should jump on this.

Fortrees is about as chill as they come, and I couldn't see him not getting along with anyone.

So tempted, but not sure I can make it work.
Transfer is from Revelstoke or Cherryville?
Inbound Saturday morning? When back?

Transfer is from Revelstoke. 8AM departure on Saturday 3/9 right next to the airport. Return Friday 3/15 - the Revelstoke return flight is the last one out, so we'd get back to town early afternoon (guessing 1PM-2PM).

Bump - I know there's at least one mag out there who can make this trip work.

how big is the group? you familiar with the other folks? if so, how’s the pace/endurance - fast/slow/early finish groups or everyone stays together? how many guides?

I know two folks on the trip. Lodge holds 16 guests I think.

5-6 guides and the chef/housekeeper usually meets up as a tail gunner mid-morning. They manage group fitness and ability very well. The crew typically splits up into two groups first thing, then split up again later in the day.

I stick with the fast/long day group and an average day is 5k-6k ft of climbing each. This is usually a smaller crew, 4-5 folks. Start early and come home with your headlamp on if you want, or just do a couple short laps and you are back by lunch.

Bump for a deep snowpack, just how momma likes it. Pushing 4m soon... from the webcam:

Someone take this spot. SKI POW NOW OR FOREVER DIE IN A CUBE

This was self-guided but we did 1800- 2000m each day. A motivated group with a guide could easily do that. Then you pig out when you get back.

DId i mention 5 indoor shitters???

A ringing endorsement from LeeLau. I like roughing it in the backcountry, but pooping in comfort is pretty rad too.

Lack of vert is not an issue, I guarantee it!

[LeeLau]

Conditions are acceptable. How is your cube view?

[LeeLau]

N faces skiing well

Probably even moreso in in 2 weeks

[thefortrees]

I’m still looking for somebody to take the spot!

[LeeLau]

Stable Sol.N faces

Yeah buddy! Somebody wants to channel your inner Sylvain Saudan and take my available spot for this trip. Make me an offer I can't refuse!

Lee - what zone is this?

[LeeLau]

N face Fosthall

[gavinski91]

I can't believe no one has jumped on this yet. I'd be all over it if I could get the week off.

Jungle Fever

[thefortrees]

Bump, the spot is still available!

[thefortrees]

Make an offer! Still trying to fill the spot - Lee's out there now posting awesome stoke for this place.

I only I wasn't heading to whistler these days... god that looks incredible!
