Cariboo Lodge is the finest mountain lodge of its kind in the entire Cariboo Range, a legendary old gold rush area of high, north-facing glaciers; wide, endless alpine runs, and good tree skiing in breathtaking surroundings. With access to the consistently high snowfall of the North Thompson Valley, the Cariboos offer terrific, high-quality Heli- Skiing until very late in the season.

Expert skiers and riders looking for a challenge should check out our Steep Skiing Camps.

Notable runs: Encore, Blackstone, Goldmine


John Mellis
Lodge Manager

John grew up amongst a family of skiers in Vancouver. He claims his family dragged him to Whistler and other local mountains every weekend from the time he was two.

At the ripe age of 17, John moved to Lake Louise where he was influenced by a number of mountain guides and developed a passion for mountain travel. He worked at Lake Louise for 12 years -- first as foreman of the trail crew and then as team leader of the avalanche control and public safety program. During his time at Lake Louise he climbed and traveled the Rockies and Columbia Mountains, guiding friends and co-workers to new heights and abilities.

After twelve years of mountain achievements and boot camp-like guide exams, he attained full mountain guide status. John joined CMH in 1992 and hasn't looked back.

He is passionate about educating and guiding skiers and climbers from around the globe, and is always keen to show off the majestic mountains in his new backyard.
