Description

Situated in the remote wilderness of northwestern British Columbia, the Skeena Mountains serve as the perfect spot for a classic heli-skiing adventure!

Join us and over the course of three days, we will head out into the remote mountains around this tiny hamlet of Terrace and enjoy the copious amounts of pristine powder that are dumped here by Mother Nature each year.

Each day we will head out in the helicopter to explore the 5,500 square kilometers of skiing and snowboarding terrain that we can reach within the Skeena Mountains. Depending on weather and snow conditions, our knowledgeable guides will be able to find the perfect spot so that we can enjoy as many runs as possible.

While we're out into the backcountry, breathe the crisp and clean air, enjoy the empty wilderness and make numerous long and incredible descents. After getting dropped on mountain summits and enjoying spectacular views, we will race down high-quality powder and through old growth forest until we reach the valley floor and do it all over again.

If the weather decides not to cooperate with us and we cannot safely fly, then we will head into the snowcat instead and check out some of the excellent mountain options around the lodge.

Regardless of where we go, the scenery will be spectacular and skiing even better!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible 3-day heliskiing adventure in the heart of British Columbia's Skeena Mountains!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
