Boat-Based Heli-Skiing
James Morland •
Sea to Sky Adventure, British Columbia
The intricate coastlines of British Columbia and south east Alaska are dramatic on a scale hard to imaginge. For those with a sense of adventure, this pristine wilderness of fjords, islands, rivers and glaciers will leave a lasting impression. Rising almost vertically from the calm emerald waters of sheltered fiords, towering snow-capped mountains provide the perfect playground for heliskiing and untapped adventure.
Heliskiing | Exploration | Adventure
From your floating heliski lodge on board the MV Cascadia you will have access to some of the most inaccessible, best kept secrets in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains. On shore, natural hot springs will help to ease tired muscles and trips to powerful ancient village sites give an insight into the rich native history of the region. Nutrient-rich waters support a phenomenal variety of sea life, birds and marine mammals making this much more than just a ski safari.
The Boat
The 138-foot catamaran Cascadia is a spacious expedition-style vessel perfectly suited to the deep waters of the Inside Passage. She is large enough to offer real comfort but small enough to access the hidden gems that the bigger ships cannot.
We will have a maximum of 8 heliskiing guests on board at any one time but with a total of twelve double/twin cabins there is the possibility to have additional non-skiing guests. All cabins have private bathrooms with direct outside access and plenty of natural light.
