2025 Heliski Trip Ideas

Following big early snowfalls in British Columbia, Whistler opened early with a powder day on 22 November and is in great shape for Christmas and New Year. Another winner in the early snowfall stakes, Revelstoke has already received almost three metres of snow. Check out all that untouched snow in the flyover video from 16 November. The resort opens this weekend and heliskiing (not always a certainty in December) begins shortly afterwards.
