Shoulder season dates at Fairy Meadow & Kokanee
Dates outside of the lottery dates, before December 31 and after April 28 are available to book on a first come first serve basis. The cost of the hut is $30 – $41/person/night and does NOT include helicopter costs. These trips are not subject to the same blocks of time (ie. 6 nights/7days) and can be booked for as long/short a time that you would like to go, as long as the heli companies can work within the dates that you are proposing. Groups wishing to book these dates need to contact the ACC to see if the times are available and then contact the helicopter companies that service these areas to confirm that they can fly at these times, before the ACC will make an official booking.
