• Explore the full reach of our 10,700 sq/km of terrain
• Stay at three seperate wilderness lodges
• Ski first descents all the way from the fjords to the highest peak in BC
• Choice of Private Heli or Semi-private Heli program

The Perfect Heliskiing Journey

Maybe you have visited one of our locations, now you can visit two, on the same holiday! By combining the two tenures you will have the opportunity to ski and ride our total landmass of more then 1,070,000 hectares. This is 10,700 sq/km (4,180 sq/m) or if you prefer, 2.64 million acres of incredible terrain. This is as BIG as it comes, and is more area than you can ski in a lifetime.

The week starts  in our Pantheon Heli SKiing Zone for 2-3 days while based at the White Saddle Ranch. This is a working cattle ranch situated on the Chilcotin Plateau in cowboy country, with authentic western hospitality and ambiance. The owners are true pioneers, having built the ranch and lived off the grid since the 1960's. To this day the ranch generates its own power and was only recently connected for telephone service. During March its calving time. With luck and if you are keen, you may have an opportunity to help out! During the summer months the ranch hosts an eclectic mix of mountain climbers and movie stars in search of untrammeled wilderness.

Mid week, on a day chosen by your guide, you will transit to our second heli ski operation at Tweedsmuir. You will fly and ski 200 kilometres up the spine of the Coast Range, past the infamous Klinaklini River, the mighty Monarch Ice field, and stunning Ape Lake. These are areas that rarely see a visitors and there are still peaks and valleys that don't have names.

As evening arrives you will land at Tweedsmuir Lodge, your home for the next couple nights. Over the following days, every morning the heli picks you up, flies you up to the snow for an unforgettable day in the mountains, then back down to the lodge for the night.

You will round out the week by skiing and exploring the terrain in and around the Tweedsmuir Lodge and the Bella Coola Valley.

If the possibility arises and the group is keen to keep exploring, there may also be an opporunity to stay at Bear Bay Lodge on the shores of Bute Inlet for a night. This would complete a remarkable exploration of our entire permit area, from North to South and east to West. It would be like having the entire Swiss Alps to ski in just for you and your private group.
