2025 Heliski Trip Ideas
Elemental Adventure •
Seeking inspiration for your 2025 ski trip? With snow falling across North America and Europe, if you haven’t got your next powder fix lined up yet, it’s not too late, whether you are thinking about the imminent winter months or planning further ahead.
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. Revelstoke has already received almost three metres of snow. Check out the Revelstoke ski patrol's pre-season opening run from 21 November. The resort opens this weekend and heliskiing (not always a certainty in December) begins shortly afterwards.
December
Two of the world's best chalets, Belmont Estate in Whistler and Bighorn in Revelstoke still have availability over the festive period and in January. Contact us for dates and prices at these exceptional properties, both of which offer heli-skiing from the doorstep as well as some of the best resort skiing in North America.
If you can squeeze in a trip before Christmas, we have a handful of spots left for 17-21 December including three days' heli-skiing in Revelstoke, four nights' lodging and transfers from Kelowna for CA$6,995 pp.
