A stunning photographic collection by Brigitte Huerzeler of a snowshoe trip from Marshall Lake to Dacha Cabin.


B.C. Recreation offers this description of the Dacha cabin:


"The Dacha Shelter is approx. 1430 meters elevation. The Marshall Lake (Phoenix) cross country ski area is nestled in the south Monashees near the historic town site of Phoenix. The ski area offers approximately 35 km of trail, most of which are groomed or track set. The Dacha (hut) has a postcard view of the distant mountains, a portion of highway 3, and the nearby Phoenix Ski Hill. The trails are dog friendly and contain a recently built 500 m novice loop, other novice friendly trails, intermediate and advanced trails, and rustic adventures for the experienced skier seeking challenge. The trail system also includes the old ski hill, which fostered Mini Engen (one time world champion ski jumper) and today it is frequented by telemark skiers honing their skills. See driving directions to the trail head here.
