Yellowknife Ski Club Chalet

At the Yellowknife Ski Club Chalet, a wedding brings guests together at the edge of the trails, where the city gives way to open northern land.

The club's chalet sits within Yellowknife city limits, on Chief Drygeese territory, beside the trails the club grooms for skiing. It is often rented for ceremonies and gatherings.

The upstairs room covers about 1,500 square feet and holds up to 140 people, with tables and chairs for 100. A 500 square foot deck with a barbecue opens off the upper level, and an elevator makes the room wheelchair accessible.

The chalet has a fully equipped, commercially licensed kitchen, audio-visual equipment, wireless internet and plenty of parking. Downstairs there is a carpeted lounge with a kitchenette and dining area, and rentals include trail day passes, so guests can head out on the trails before or after the celebration.

For couples who picture a laid-back wedding with fresh air, friends and a deck full of laughter, the Yellowknife Ski Club Chalet offers a celebration rooted in the northern outdoors.
