Snowfall Lodge is located at 1600m in a northwest-facing drainage overlooking the Incomappleaux River. It is west of Battle Abbey and south of Selkirk Backcountry Lodge. The terrain is fairly advanced with lots of tree skiing and some more mellow terrain in the alpine, mostly on or near glaciers. Skiing is possible down to 1200m and treeline is about 2200m.
