Denver to Nelson (Ymir hut) and back again.

We didn't stay at the Ymir Hotel though I had checked it out prior.

I agree with your take on the lodge Alta. I don't think anyone on our trip was upset with the rustic accomodations. But at some point there's a difference between rustic and unsafe. Sadly it seems like it may be teetering on that line. Would love to see minimal investments to bring it up to snuff -- work exchange, small co-op. Such a cool spot and the terrain -- as you say -- is excellent whether it's storming hard or sunballs all week.

Now...on to the food.

Looks like the lodge is being ordered to close by the Ministry of Forests.

I spent several weeks out in the "Yurtopia" yurts skiing that terrain behind Whitewater in the 2006-2008 timeframe. Trevor took us all out in the snowcat in as far as possible and then we skinned the final km's each time. Was amazing, with overnight refreshes more often than not. Each trip was unguided so we explored a lot, and kept it relatively safe when we could hear Whitewater bombing each morning. Still great skiing. Never stayed at the Lodge, as I don't think it was built until a little later?

This guy has thrown his hat in with the truckers and lost his lodge?

Ya seems like he's gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. All of his issues are pretty easy to clear up but sounds like he'd rather fight the man.
