The key element is terrain. Sol Mountain Lodge sits at 6,200 feet and smack in the middle of 30,000 acres of the southern Monashee snowbelt. The lodge is strategically placed here. Head north from our front door and you'll find Monashee Provincial Park, offering dramatic skiing in alpine terrain surrounding Mount Fosthall, and Peter and Margie Lakes. Head south and you'll find Twin Peaks and Mount Baldur, each boasting summit-to-creek runs of 3,000 feet and longer. Immediately to the east puts you at steep tree skiing, dropping into the head of North Fosthall Creek.

All of this terrain - a complete mix of steep and moderate tree skiing, open glades, open alpine bowls, and steep alpine chutes - sits between 4,500 and 8,500 feet above sea level. Most of this terrain remains to be explored. And snow? Over the last three years, the settled snowpack of the southern Monashee snowbelt has been over three metres at the lodge site.
