Chatter Creek – REAL MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE
“The legendary fun camp for those who love powder and dig folky.”
Located deep in the backcountry north of Golden, BC, we are known for our larger-than-life terrain and distinctive East Kootenay culture. For over 20 years skiers and snowboarders have made the journey to our remote lodge to experience our 58,000 acre playground. Here high glaciers, steep chutes, expansive alpine bowls, and endless tree runs turn into an epic backcountry skiing paradise each winter season.
We still have some available space in our Cat-Assisted Freeride Camps.
Join us this December and kick off the season properly.
This is a great way to get the legs working and help develop the skills that will make this season successful. You will be teamed up in small groups with similar goals in mind. We provide a guide, tail guide and professional skier who will be a friend, motivator and coach. The snowcat will drop you in a zone best suited to the goals for the day. From there you`ll ski tour, scope and plan your lines, laugh and learn.
Small groups means that you`ll get more 1 on 1 time with your guides and coaches, less tracks in the terrain, and fewer people to contend for space in the hot tub!
Coaches this year include @loganpehota , @evans_leah and @chrisrubens
Trips run Dec 8 - 11, 2026 (3 day tour) and Dec 11 - 15 (4 day tour). Discounted rates available if you want to stay through for a full week.

It starts with a well laid out plan.
Before the chain swords go to work, we identify the areas that will offer the best and most useful results. Those areas where your guides stop, regroup and tell you to slow down and pick your way through.
Then we plan how much of the terrain we want cut, how much spacing between trees, how many trees per hectare, how to process the vegetation once it is on the ground.
We plan how to access the area to work, and how to best egress the area in the event of an emergency.
We plan how to communicate with each other throughout the day for safety check ins, how to prepare for the weather each day and how to deal with the onslaught of mosquitoes, black flies and all the other biting insects.
We plan and we talk about the plan, and then we plan some more.
All in the effort of creating some truly kick-ass skiing, and making the mind blowing terrain at Chatter Creek even better.
We can`t wait to show you what we have been up to, and how well our plan worked out.

Thanks to the hardworking crew at @finelinerevy we have some much nicer skiing out the bottom of Super Spruce. One of your favorite runs just got better.
A few of the guides were flying around this week, scoping out a few things and making plans. More on that soon.
Can`t wait to check out the freshly gladed terrain
It won`t be long now.
Snow has started to hit the mountain tops and we are counting down the days until we are here again.
Maybe it`s time to start getting your legs in shape.
