The ski lodge is nothing but a pile of bricks and some foundation remains. It burnt down in the '60's……and was left as it is now.IIRC it ran for about 2-3 winters but then suffered form lack of snow. If you poke around you can see the few ski run cuts there still. There's 12 or more cabins up there just below the lodge's remains that can be leased fron the gov't. The Coq. Search and Rescue has one up there too. There's a great trail network up there for hiking and cross country skiing only. Some great waterfalls and lakes to check out to. Some really cool scenery (sunrise) and a time capsule at the Coquitlam Mountain Summit. You're looking at about 2 hours+, up from the gun-club gate. Pretty sweet DH training run from there down to Triple Crown.
Spend a day to get up there, and if inclined, continue North to connect it to The Fools Gold Route and the old B22 Bomber that crashed up there waaaaaaaaay back. Rumour has it, it was full of gold…..
Happy Trails!
