IDK WHAT TO PACK, HELP!

Breathe! We're here to help. We've built a detailed packing list to assist you even before you get here.

Lodge Life is one that's relatively informal, and most of the time less is more! Keep in mind, the Helicopter allows 45lbs/ 20kgs per person plus one small carry on. However, additional luggage can be stored with limited space at the Staging Area.

Long Casual Pants; try to avoid cotton and jean.
Snow Pants; optional, but highly recommended in snow.

Comfy clothes; whatever casual Lodge attire looks like to you!
Bathing Suit; when the sauna gets in, you'll want to too.

Hey there,

Welcome to the Packing Tips section.

This Tab was inspired by one of the Lodge Keeper's mom. She had a lot of questions, so we thought you might too. In addition to the FAQ's to Pack Tab we've also included some "Pro Tips" on packing. This will help set you at ease if this is a new experience!

The Pro Tips:

General Tips:

Layering helps prepare and protect against the elements. It allows you to enjoy the experience instead of worrying about the weather.
Having a pair of socks specific for sleeping is another trade secret.
Try to allow only one luxury item, as space is limited.
Lip-chap will be your best friend at these altitudes.

Don't forget those life saving meds. We have a form to fill out in our Booking Process to help us help you.

Heli Tips:

Hiking pants and snow pants are optimal choices
If you're skiing or boarding, try to take your boots as your carry on!
Ball caps have a higher chance of flying off your head when the Heli takes off. psst... don't chase after them!

Cotton products

The Classic 100% Cotton T-Shirt, Sox, Jeans etc... are everything soft, relaxed, and comfortable. But merino wool and synthetic fabrics are better than 100% cotton products this situation.
