Revelstoke Heli-Skiing

Heli Skiing at Revelstoke Mountain Resort - Kootenay Rockies Tourism

One of the local heli-ski operators claims that Revelstoke offers the best skiing on the planet, and that may not be an exaggeration. The huge amount of Kootenay Rockies terrain that is accessible by helicopter, combined with massive winter snowfall, places Revelstoke's heli-skiing in a class of its own.  With tenure over their own vast areas of powder covered slopes, heli-ski guides are able to share an intimate knowledge of their particular piece of this awesome landscape.  By the way, boarders are welcome too.

There are a number of outfits based in and near Revelstoke, each offering various packages. These include:

Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing

Based out of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Selkirk Tangiers flies over approximately 200,000ha/500,000ac of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains.  Within this area, there are more than 200 established runs with lots of tree skiing, and verticals ranging from 500m/1640 ft to a mind-boggling 2200m/7200 ft.  Selkirk Tangiers packages are between three and seven days' duration, but the company also offers a one-day heli-ski experience.

Eagle Pass Heli Skiing

Ski Canada Magazine awarded Eagle Pass Heliskiing the "Best New Heliski Operation" in 2007.  Their base is Griffin Lodge, just off the TransCanada Highway, 27km/17mi west of Revelstoke.  The lodge accommodates a maximum of 12 skiers, and they fly groups of four, guaranteeing a very personal experience.  Their terrain includes significant stands of widely spaced, old-growth forest. There are three- to seven-day packages.

Canadian Mountain Holidays

CMH is based in downtown Revelstoke, with guests staying at the Regent Inn, a boutique hotel on East 1st Street.   At the start of each day, skiers are driven the short distance to the CMH helicopter pad and are high in the mountains in a matter of minutes.  CMH promises open alpine, glacier terrain and great tree skiing.  And, in the event that inclement weather prevents flying, the proximity of Revelstoke Mountain Resort means there will be skiing.  Packages from two to 10 days are available.

Mica Heliskiing

At Mica Heliskiing, skiers and boarders get to stay at a remote mountain lodge at 1220m/4000ft, overlooking the massive Kinbasket Reservoir.  Guests are shuttled by helicopter up to the lodge from Revelstoke.  Mica uses small helicopters, so this is small group skiing.  The company's tenure includes massive glaciers, cirques and bowls.  Mica also offers three- to seven-day packages.
