“Up at Great Northern earlier this week. we all had such a good time on the mountain and we were so well looked after in the lodge and on the hill. The care taken when it came to safety was also a huge plus for us, as it made it easy to have fun on the hill and to know we were in good hands””

“Our… ski vacation up at Great Northern earlier this week... was a great family holiday for us… Everything… about Great Northern is exceptional and is so valued by your long-time guests and your new converts!”
Kate and Lindsay Fischer, Calgary, Alberta

“Thanks again for a fantastic three days of fun, sun and snow…. Its always enjoyable to hang and chat with all of you guiding the skiing and running the lodge during my visit. That is what truly makes it a memorable time apart from the good lines down the mountains. All of you do an amazing job looking out for our best interests as guests from keeping us comfortable in the lodge to keeping us safe in the mountain environs….Thanks again, everyone.”
John Gillett, Canmore, AB

“…This is snowcat skiing, low-key, patient, mellow. Mellow? Ha! It may be slower-paced than heli-skiing, but this skiing is far from mellow… Expect to ski 12,000 to 19,000 vertical feet in a day. We skied all day, every day, until I was ready to drop… As we say our goodbyes on the last day, I find that I too, want to come back and ski with this group again next year. It has only a little to do with the phenomenal skiing — honestly, the best snow and best skiing of my life — but just about everything to do with the fact that I've fallen in love with the place and the people.”
Steve Casimiro, POWDER MAGAZINE
