Heli-Skiing Meets Rustic Luxury in the Canadian Wilderness

This is where under-stated 5-star luxury merges seamlessly with the rugged Canadian wild to create one of the most refined luxury heli-ski experiences available today.

Home is a picture-perfect private log chalet nestled on the shores of a frozen lake, surrounded by towering pine forests and an 830,000 acre powder-filled playground. Your private helicopter is parked outside - reserved exclusively for you and your friends to explore the lightest driest Canadian powder imaginable.

Inside warm fires glow, tired muscles are massaged and hungry, thirsty bodies are fed and watered by culinary delights from your private chef and vintages from the cellar.

From the moment you step off the plane in Vancouver, everything is taken care of with immaculate attention to detail. From the middle of downtown Vancouver you will be flown by helicopter direct to the doorstep of your private luxury chalet and the winter wonderland that surrounds it.

Heli-Ski Safari

This is not your regular Canadian heli-skiing. This is big wild northern British Columbia and compared to southern BC with all of its heli-ski operations sandwiched together; it’s like a different country.

A more distant, end of the earth type place would be hard to imagine and for the past four years I had dreamed of skiing these gigantic volcanoes that rise so abruptly from the mythical sounding, Sea of Okhotsk.
