White Grizzly Lodge

White Grizzly Lodge The beautifully hand-crafted log cabin is located in a forested setting, between Kootenay Lake and Duncan Lakes, in the hamlet of Meadow Creek. It feels like you’re way out in the wilderness and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The rustic lodge provides a very relaxed environment in which to enjoy your après-ski chill out time. 

Getting To White Grizzly Lodge

You’ll need to fly into Spokane, or Kelowna Airport and then rent a car to drive yourself to Meadow Creek. The White Grizzly Lodge is easily accessible via road so you don’t need a snowcat, helicopter or snowmobile to get there.

If you are coming via Kelowna and Revelstoke, there are two route options, both that involve catching the Upper Arrow Lakes Ferry. The “quicker” route is via Trout Lake. It’s only recommended for those with lots of mountain driving experience. The easier option is to drive via Nakusp.

From Spokane, you will pass through the mountain town of Nelson, and WhiteWater Ski Resort, which makes a great stop for a few days, before or after your trip. White Grizzly offers hotel deals for Nelson.

Whichever way you arrive at White Grizzly, the drive will be incredibly picturesque.

A beautifully handcrafted lodge

Twin, double & triple rooms

Private en suites to all rooms

Rooms

The lodge has 5 spacious bedrooms that have a variety of bed configurations, with extra long single, double and queen sized beds that provide double, twin or triple accommodation. All rooms have an ensuite bathroom.

The rooms have simple décor, which is all that’s required because the log beams are the main event. The beds are super comfortable so you’re sure to sleep like a hibernating white grizzly bear! 

Facilities and Services

The lodge has two main common areas. The cozy lounge room is the epicentre of social activity where guests relax on leather sofas and chairs around the fireplace. Next door is the dining room with one large table which is great for family style meals. Facilities and services of the lodge include:

• Outdoor hot tub to soak the weary muscles
• Large flatscreen for slide shows and video sessions
• Sound system
• Massages available
• Fluffy bathrobes
• Drying room with boot dryers
• Free, high-speed Internet access
• Retail area with several White Grizzly souvenirs and ski/snowboard accessories

Meals

The meals at the lodge are fabulous, very innovative, and you’ll never go hungry. A hot breakfast is served along with a range of continental items, coffee and tea. Dinner is also held in the dining room, and consists of a hearty feast from a skilled kitchen staff.

After burning up lots of energy in the powder, chances are that you’ll be starving when you get home. You’ll be greeted with après-ski appetizers that can be accompanied by your BYO drinks. 

What Stands Out About the Lodge?

The vibe of the lodge is a highlight; laid-back, friendly and charming. The food is a stand-out feature, as is the hot tub, the reclining chairs in the lounge room, and the very comfortable beds. It’s delightfully homey.

The waiver in your booking package and on the White Grizzly website is a sample only. You will sign the real document when you arrive at White Grizzly Lodge.

We understand that occasionally events occur that prevent you from joining us for your trip.

Also note that inclement weather, poor conditions that impact the quality or enjoyment of your trip is not typically covered by insurance providers.

Late Arrivals

White Grizzly cannot make exceptions for any reason. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving early.

What Happens If a Guest Isn’t Fit Enough or Unable to Ski The Terrain

If a guest is unable to ski the terrain we offer or is overly tired/fatigued then White Grizzly has the right to “bench” them and they will be told to either stay in the cat for a period of time to recuperate or in extreme cases take the day off from the mountain. This is a safety concern. We ask all our guests to guarantee that they are able to ski or ride the terrain that we offer and we quiz them on their general fitness upon booking. We expect all our guests to be strong to expert skiers and snowboarders and capable of skiing the entire length of their trip. If a guest has given false information regarding this then White Grizzly is not at fault and the impact on the other guest’s experience is not the responsibility of White Grizzly.
