Be Part of History: Naming Opportunities at the Robson Pass Hut

High on the doorstep of Mount Robson, a new chapter in Canadian backcountry history is nearly complete. The Robson Pass (Byron Caldwell) Hut—built by the Alpine Club of Canada—is entering its final stretch, and for a limited time, the outdoor community has a rare opportunity to leave a personal mark on one of the country’s most iconic alpine landscapes.

For more than a century, the Alpine Club of Canada has quietly shaped how Canadians experience wild places. Its hut system—now the largest in North America—has introduced generations of skiers, climbers, and hikers to the magic of winter nights, storm-bound mornings, and shared meals deep in the mountains. The Robson Pass Hut continues that legacy, offering a modern refuge in one of the most dramatic corridors of the Rockies.

This isn’t about luxury. It’s about stewardship, memory, and continuity. Naming a feature within the Robson Pass Hut is a way to support backcountry access while permanently connecting your name—or the name of someone you wish to honour—to a place that will inspire adventurers for decades to come. From the first light on Mount Robson to quiet evenings after long days in the alpine, these are spaces where stories will be made.

What makes this moment especially meaningful is timing. Thanks to a generous matching gift from the Sarjeant family, every dollar contributed toward a naming opportunity is being matched—doubling the impact of your support and helping close the final fundraising gap before the hut officially opens.

For Powder Canada readers who value wild winters, human-powered access, and the quiet infrastructure that makes remote adventures possible, this is a chance to contribute to something enduring. You won’t just be supporting a hut—you’ll be helping safeguard the culture of Canadian backcountry travel itself.

Mount Robson is calling. Some legacies are built one turn, one step, and one shelter at a time.

By supporting the Robson Pass Hut, you’re helping complete a vital alpine refuge—and permanently linking your name to a place that will shape Canadian backcountry experiences for generations.
