2 weeks ago I spent 5 guided and catered days backcountry skiing snowboarding (sorry skiers) at Sol Mountain with some buddies.  What a trip!  

Sol Mountain is a back country lodge in the Monashees about 60 kilometres east of Vernon.  It is very remote, so remote that they only way to get to the lodge in winter is via helicopter.  The views from our chopper ride were epic - untouched mountains full of freshies!

The lodge itself is super modern with lots of amenities (my wife would even love it).  The Chef was phenomenal and we happily devoured the meals he prepared for the 20-ish of us that were there.

Our days started off (in the bitter, bitter cold) trekking up the mountain.  This wasn't like the cat-skiing and heli-skiing trips I had been on before.  I actually had to hike for hours with skins on my split board to be rewarded with untouched powder.  Talk about a workout.  Awesome!
Here's a video to check out:  (Yes, it does sound like the chipmunks narrating in the beginning - but stick with it!)

I highly recommend this place for it's stellar guides, hospitality and overall experience.  Definitely something to put on your "list."
