Backcountry Skills, Knowledge and Preparation...

Visiting the backcounty of the Rocky Mountains requires knowledge and preparation. When you stay at Amiskwi Lodge, you are located in a remote alpine site. You assume certain risks and expect certain hazards when you travel in the high country.

Self-guided and Self-catered

Amiskwi Lodge is a self-guided & self-catered lodge. this means that you look after yourself once you're there. You should be experienced in backcountry navigation, and be prepared to carry appropriate survival gear. Temperatures in summer vary between 5°C and 35°C. In the winter they range from -35°C to +10°C.

Mountain Weather is subject to rapid change - summer and winter

In the summer, weather is typical of the Rocky Mountains. We can get hot bathing suit days where all you’ll want to do is cool off in the mountain streams and swim in the mountain lakes. We can also have cool rainy mountain weather so don’t forget the rain gear!

Groups are responsible for ensuring that everyone in their group is properly equipped with appropriate outdoor clothing and gear, including but not limited to, winter equipment; skins, avalanche beacons, shovels & probes. If groups wish to use radios in the field they must supply their own.
