About Baldface Lodge
Baldface Lodge is one of the world's most storied cat-skiing operations, set deep in the Selkirk Mountains north of Nelson. Guests reach the remote lodge by a short helicopter flight before spending their days riding snowcats up to more than 32,000 acres of pristine backcountry terrain — a scale and quality of snow that has made Baldface a bucket-list destination for skiers and snowboarders worldwide.
The operation runs guided, all-inclusive multi-day snowcat skiing and boarding trips from its flagship lodge, plus day-trip and advanced-terrain options through its Baldface Valhalla program. Terrain ranges from mellow, open powder cruisers to steep, technical tree lines, all accessed with professional guides and a strict focus on snow safety. Meals, lodging and après are part of the package at the lodge and its famous clubhouse.
What sets Baldface apart is the complete, immersive experience — legendary Kootenay powder, world-class terrain and a lodge culture that has hosted pro riders and celebrities while staying grounded in genuine mountain hospitality. It is the marquee name among Nelson's cluster of cat-ski operators, in a region often called the cat-skiing capital of the world.
