A Rugged Powder Adventure on the BC/Alaska Border

The frontier town of Stewart, British Columbia is a throwback to the gold rush era when thousands made the arduous journey in search of their fortunes. Today there are other miners in town and this time they're mining the white stuff.

From jaw-dropping alpine runs to epic tree skiing in waist-deep powder, this is a genuine 'back woods' Canadian experience made for real skier’s and boarder’s...and as an added bonus this is one of the best value for money heliski trips in Canada. The fancy extras (and the costs associated with them) happen elsewhere in BC...

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.

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.
