Kokanee Glacier Cabin This is an ACC Hut, albeit the nicest hut in the network. Sleeping is bunkbed style. There is a large kitchen, dinning and lounge area. Two indoor flush toilets. No sauna, and a bag shower. There is a full-time custodian on site to manage the hydro system
The terrain is endless in all directions, and varies from mellow tree runs next to the lodge, to glacier travel and peaks to nab. Most skiing is above the lodge, but in good snow conditions, there are below lodge runs available.
This hut has been known to get socked in with clouds/fog.
RMS Selection Process For any highly sought after trip, priority is given to participants who are actively volunteering with the Rocky Mountain Section. However, I encourage anyone interested to apply. We have spots available at Snowfall Lodge in January 2025, and you might be a good fit for that lodge.
Self-Guided and Self-Catered: All RMS ski camps are self catered and self guided. AST2 or equivalent experience is required. We will continue our RMS practices which include an avalanche scenario upon arrival at the lodge. Each participant is expected to perform personal snow assessments each day and actively participate in daily group risk assessment discussions. Copies of our daily assessment worksheets are available on the camps page of the section website and from the individual camp managers. They are a modified version of the ACMG morning guides worksheet, adapted for the RMS by the CAA. Covid has added requirements for participants, including proof that you are fully COVID vaccinated and completion of a “Declaration of Health”. Other COVID requirements, such as negative rapid tests, may be required. As Federal and Provincial health regulations continue to change, we will need to be flexible to accommodate them. If a trip gets cancelled or delayed after participants have paid, the financial impact varies depending on the lodge, but basically you should expect that any funds you have paid are likely non-refundable. If you have to cancel a trip after paying, please refer to the RMS Cancellation Policy.
