Wild Outside. Warm Inside.
A warm welcome, a long way from home.
OUR
Lodge
BUILT BY US. MADE TO FEEL LIKE HOME.
Our lodge sits quietly on the banks of the Dean River, surrounded by tall cedar, fir and hemlock trees.
We designed and built it ourselves, influenced by years of living here and welcoming guests from around the world. Warm fires. Comfortable rooms. Good food. A proper bar. Plenty of space for you to settle in after skiing.
our
Cabins
We believe the Finer Details matter most
Each cabin was handbuilt using cedar, fir and stone. Inside, you’ll find heated bathroom floors, deep duvets, a wood stove and a quiet sitting area looking out toward the river. Private, comfortable and surrounded by the forest. Exactly where you want to begin and end a ski day.
Sauna and spa
In The Wild.
Wood-fired sauna by the creek. Cedar hot tub overlooking the river. Cold plunge if you’re feeling brave. Your stay also includes two massages with our registered massage therapists, plus an optional morning stretch by the fire before breakfast. Because great ski days deserve fresh legs.
Experience
Dining
DINNER IS PART OF THE TRIP.
Our kitchen is led by Mandi and her team and Mandi cares deeply about what lands on the table. Expect thoughtful, seasonal cooking inspired by flavours from around the world, sourced with local and organic ingredients. Dinner is slow, generous and designed for the kind of evenings where nobody is in much of a rush to leave the table.
And so is the drink.
A deep cellar of BC wine. Local beer. Proper cocktails. Good whisky. Our bar is stocked with things we genuinely like to drink, from small Canadian producers to old favourites worth keeping around. Ski all day. Eat very well. Stay for one more.

Our
Staff
Great Bear is small by design, and so is our team.
The people guiding you, cooking for you, pouring your drink and welcoming you back to the lodge are the same people you’ll get to know over the course of the week.
Experienced, thoughtful and genuinely happy to have you here.
