Our Lodge
Dining
Meals at Chatter Creek are a truly memorable experience shared by the entire group in our communal dining room. We offer our guests a wide variety of unforgettable meals prepared by our chefs with your complete satisfaction as a goal. Our professional baker will also treat you daily with artisan bread, fine pastries, and incredible baked goods.
Enjoy daily-made smoothies every morning, fresh-baked cookies to stuff your pockets with and multi-course meals that will make you forget you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Guests with dietary requirements need not worry. Please let us know prior to your arrival and we will assure that we have your requirements looked after. Whether you are a diabetic, need a gluten or lactose-free diet or follow a kosher diet, we are pleased to accommodate your needs.
Accommodation
Deep in the Canadian Rockies backcountry, Chatter Creek guests stay in a well-appointed large double occupancy room with an adjoining en suite bathroom and two double beds. If you come as part of a group, you’ll know your roommate ahead of time, but if you come solo, our office will pair you with a like-minded co-occupant.
Chatter Creek is made up of two adjoining lodges, one which houses our massive boot room / drying room and the other which houses our bar, lounge, dining room, stretch/yoga space, and massage facilities. The lodges are connected by a beautiful breezeway that opens onto the cat-skiing terrain.
Whether you stay in Vertebrae Lodge or Solitude Lodge, you are guaranteed a warm and comfortable place after an epic day of powder skiing or snowboarding. Both lodges are built from handcrafted old growth local spruce logs and offer plenty of space to mingle in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
Wine Philosophy
We serve a wide range of beers, liquors and cocktails in addition to having an extensive wine list with great selections from British Columbia and around the world carefully chosen to complement our Rocky Mountain fusion cuisine.
We have traveled the breadth of the Okanagan Valley meeting winemakers and barrel sampling in order to bring to you wines from established producers in addition to discovering new wineries of merit. Winemakers from the Naramata Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Falls, and the Similkameen are growing a wide variety of grapes and making wines worthy of international recognition. From off-dry, full fruit whites to full-bodied reds, the Okanagan Valley provides us with great wines many, of which are unavailable outside British Columbia.
We have also touched on our favorite growing areas of the Old World in order to offer a selection of French and Italian wine featuring Brunello’s and Barolo’s in addition to gems from the Bordeaux and Pinot Noir from Burgundy. New World offerings like Barossa Valley Shiraz, Pinot Noir from Oregon State, and Malbec from Argentina round out our portfolio. Our white wines represent a broad range from an Alsatian Pinot Gris to a single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand along with California Chardonnay.
Our philosophy is to provide you with distinctive wines, accompanied by the knowledge to assist you in choosing the right wine to enhance your dining experience.

Massages are available for 1/2 hour or one-hour sessions. The cost is $70 per 1/2 hour and $120 per hour.
Pre-trip massage reservations can be made up to 24 hours in advance of your trip and are limited to 2 per person. Late or additional bookings will be taken on your arrival at the lodge based on availability. To book massages please complete our Massage Booking Form.
Please note: Most of our massage therapists are not Registered Massage Therapists (RMT). Please check with your benefits provider to see if your treatment is covered.
Hot Tub
Every skier and snowboarder knows that the best way to end a day of fresh tracks is a soak in a hot tub. Chatter Creek’s large outdoor hot tub is a must-visit during your stay, if only so that your muscles are ready for tomorrow!
Internet Access
Chatter Creek provides high-speed internet access for basic needs such as emailing, messaging and browsing the internet. A telephone is available to stay in touch with the folks at home as cell coverage is not available. We recommend that you download large files before you arrive. We also ask that you avoid video-conferencing or streaming (i.e.,Skype, FaceTime, YouTube).
Drying Outdoor Clothing
An important aspect of any skiing and snowboarding holiday is the ability to dry all wet gear before the next day’s adventure. Chatter Creek uses a forced air drying system to gently dry clothes and boots without deforming custom liners. Each guest is assigned an individual locker to store and dry their outdoor gear.
