A 10 minute helicopter flight from Donald (near Golden) BC). The chalet is situated at tree level at 6850 feet, near the towering peaks of the Freshfield Range.

The Campbell Icefield Chalet is surrounded by terrain suitable for
all levels of skiers. Many peaks are accessible for those who
wish to explore and see the area from up high. Open bowl and
tree skiing abound in the chalet's immediate vicinity, for those
days when we need to take it easy or visibility is poor.
The chalet, completed in 2004, has all of the conveniences the
discerning skier has come to expect such as running cold water,
flush toilet, electricity, sauna and shower room. Please see the
web site( http://www.skigolden.com/index.htm) for more
information. Also, please consider purchasing trip cancellation
insurance in the event of unforeseen delays and events.
We are also pleased to have secured the services of ACMG Guide
Cyril Shokoples for the duration of the camp. Trip participants
(max 8) will have the option to take their AST 2 course in an
extrordinary location throughout the week. There will be also the

or review skills such as ; ski technique review; crevasse rescue
review; snow profile session; plotting and interpretation session;
tactical avalanche triage session; transceiver multiple burial and

identification; shelter building session; as time, interest,
practicality and weather permits.
This is a self catered, self guided camp. Breakfast and lunches are
