Nelson is a three-hour drive directly north of Spokane, Washington. Baldface Lodge, in the mountainous area between the Kokanee and Valhalla Provincial Parks, is directly across Kootenay Lake from Nelson. In the big picture, this range is east of the Coastal Mountains and west of the Canadian Rockies.

Typically, our guests arrive at Baldface by one of four options:

  1. Fly to Castlegar, BC (YCG) and take a cab into Nelson.
  2. Fly to Spokane, WA (GEG) and take the Baldface shuttle or rent a car.
  3. Drive to Nelson
  4. Private Charter Flights provided by Kootenay Direct Airlines

Custom Travel Plans

For those who want the convenience of custom travel plans, we can arrange private air transport by plane or helicopter, according to your schedule. If your trip to Baldface is being made in conjunction with other skiing, either at local ski areas or with another snowcat or helicopter skiing operation in the area, we may be able to help with your travel plans — just give us a call!
