Our Terrain

The sensation of cruising down an endless glacier surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Skeena Mountains... the joy of effortlessly floating down a deep alpine bowl, snow in your face with every turn...the exhilaration of pounding through naturally gladed trees, chasing your partner... these are experiences of a lifetime. This is Northern Escape Heli-Skiing.

Our Heli-Skiing/Boarding area, one of the largest in the world, is still vastly unexplored.  We offer you exclusive use of our vast and varied terrain, over 6000 sq km (2316 sq miles). To date we have established over 250 runs, with endless opportunities to ski/board first descents every day, along with naming rights of course, for many years to come.

We ski/board at elevations between 450 m and 2,450 m (1,500 -8,000 feet) and receive some of the deepest and most reliable snowfalls in the province. During an average season we will receive between 30 and 40 meters (100- 130 feet) of total snowfall, providing a base of often over 10m (33 feet).

Our explorations of this area have produced stunning alpine and glacier runs along with phenomenally open treed runs that never seem to end.  With runs of more than 2,000 vertical meters (6,500 vertical feet), many of which start high in the alpine and end well below treeline, deep in the valley, you're sure to find what you're looking for!
