Sentry Lodge – Suda and Friends
Jan 3-10, 2025
Built in 2012, Sentry is an elegantly simple and sustainable new-era backcountry alpine lodge designed to inspire. The lodge gets a lot of attention but the terrain around Sentry truly makes it special. Great tree skiing right below the hut, short walks to epic pillow zones made famous in numerous ski movies. Or head out the back of the hut into Secret Valley for endless alpine runs on varying aspects. Many great natural circuits check all the boxes for what a backcountry ski trip should be.
