Joining us on a lodge trip to British Columbia? Lucky! I think these are the best ski trips on earth, and you'll soon find out why. A week in the wilderness with good friends, surrounded by the beauty of British Columbia and all the powder you can ski, all to yourselves? Count me in.
Since we'll travel to the lodge by helicopter, we need to pack light. Most huts allow no more than 40 lbs (18 kg) of gear per person, not including skis (or alcohol... BYO). Here's my preferred gear list for British Columbia lodge trips.
Amora Vida means love of life. I became a mountain guide to share my love of the mountains with others. Now, I get to live my dream, guiding skiing and climbing from my home in Ridgeway, Colorado, to the world's best destinations, like the Alps, Canada, Alaska, and South America.
Every Amora Vida trip is crafted with a passion for life, from choosing the best skiing and climbing routes, to enjoying local culture and cuisine, to developing meaningful relationships through time in the mountains. I don't guide the same trips as every other guide. Rather, I pick my favorite mountains to climb, my favorite valleys to ski, and my favorite cultures to experience. This helps us get off the beaten path to find authentic experiences.
