WENDY THOMPSON HUT
Remote and rustic backcountry touring lodge in the Duffey Lake Provincial Park
Overview
An authentic Canadian backcountry ski touring hut located in the Marriott Basin area of the Duffey Lake Provincial Park.

With space for up to 16 guests, the hut must be booked in advance and can be booked for exclusive use. With plenty of counter space to prepare meals, a wood stove (with firewood), a nearby water source, lanterns and an outhouse, this hut has everything you need for a multiple night stay.
