Northern Escape Heli Group SatisfactionGuest satisfaction... Over 70% guest return rate.

Easiest access in North America
Easy Access to Northern Escape Heli SkiingWith Vancouver only two hours away by air, our guests are able to make easy travel arrangements with no more than one extra day of travel time. Our lodges are located within 30 minutes of the Terrace Regional Airport and you can enjoy a relaxing evening upon your arrival. Book your flights directly to Terrace, BC via Vancouver. There are no hassles switching airports and your luggage will be ticketed straight through.

Small cohesive groups
You'll fly in cohesive groups of up to six skiers in our new Koala helicopters.  Each helicopter services a maximum of three groups in order to allow us greater mobility and to increase the terrain selection that is available for us to enjoy. You'll be free to ski/board as little or as much as your group chooses and at your own pace.

Northern Escape Heli Skiing Terrain

One of the largest ski areas in the world
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, nearly 6000 sq km (2,300 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.

 

 

Northern Escape Heli Skiing - Koala HelicoptersNew Koala Helicopters - the most powerful machine in the industry
The Koala Helicopters offer more space, more power and more speed which equals more skiing for our guests.  They are the fastest and most powerful machines in the industry, allowing us greater safety margins while being able to access the far corners of our vast ski area.

Deepest most reliable snowpack on the planet
Northern Escape Heli-Skiing is located in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada, and is nestled deep in the famous Skeena Mountains. We offer 1.5 million acres (6000 sq KM's) of heliskiing terrain and the deepest, driest and most reliable snowpack in the province. We ski/board at elevations between 450 m and 2,450 m (1,500 -8,000 feet) and during an average season we will receive between 20 and 30 meters (65 - 100 feet) of total snowfall, providing a base of 5 to 10 meters (15 - 30 feet).

Northern Escape Heli Skiing ActionSki a full day even on the last day of your package
The last day of your skiing/boarding package is a full day. Our packages are a full 3, 4 or 7 days, no half days here as we find you just begin to get into the swing of skiing and have to come home. You will return to the lodge at the regular time and have plenty of time to clean up and change prior to checking out. Enjoy a light dinner prior to departing for the airport. 

Northern Escape Heli Skiing SafetySafety
Providing you with a safe and enjoyable skiing/boarding vacation is our highest priority. At Northern Escape our guides carry the highest certifications in the industry. They are members of the ACMG or the IFMGA, the national and international guide’s associations. Our pilots, from Skyline Helicopters, are highly experienced and capable mountain pilots. Our General Manager and one of our Lead Guides, has personally flown with Skyline for nearly 15 years. Our Koala Helicopters are brand new and state of the art, built in 2006 and 2007. Our guests are equipped with, and trained in the use of, the latest and most advanced avalanche transceivers available; we exclusively use the Barryvox Pulse.  

Culinary experience
The word food just doesn’t fit with what is offered at Northern Escape. We have a team of Red Seal Chefs who have created a mouth watering menu that will impress the most sophisticated palate. We offer three to five course meals with an incredible wine list to match each course.  

Poor Weather Days
Northern Escape Heli-Skiing has some amazing tree skiing available that we utilize in the event poor weather keeps us out of the alpine. When the weather turns too poor to fly we also have access to our local ski area, Shames Mountain. Additionally, our proximity to the town of Terrace, 15 min, offers up the option to visit town. On average, we typically experience 1 day of poor weather per week during our season.

Classic Heli Skiing Package from Northern Escape in Terrace BC

The Classic Package is our most popular program.  We offer an intimate experience with only 18 guests each week. This "boutique" atmosphere allows you to enjoy the excitement without losing the dimension of relaxation with new and old friends. Igniting the passion of those who stay and play, we are committed to maintaining the unique adventure that composes our Classic Package.

Guests will ski in groups of six in our Koala helicopter and depart directly from the lodge  each morning. With only three groups in a very powerful machine, we are able to maximize skiing by avoiding long waits for multiple fuel runs and explore more of our vast terrain at your pace.

 
Northern Escape Heli Skiing Packages

Northern Escape Heli Skiing LodgeAccommodation is provided at Yellow Cedar Lodge on the banks of the Skeena River. A short drive from Terrace, BC, Classic Package guests will enjoy the intimate and remote setting, the amenities and services of the lodge and its friendly staff.  We offer a choice of single, double and twin rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, as availability allows.

Your Heli-Skiing/Boarding vacation commences with your arrival in Terrace on the evening of the first day of your package. You should plan to arrive in Vancouver by mid afternoon on that day in order to make the connection to Terrace where you will arrive at approximately 19:30. A company representative will meet you at the airport and will accompany you to Yellow Cedar Lodge. Upon arrival at the lodge you will check into your rooms and meet for an informal orientation. A light meal is followed by an introduction to our skiing program and the weeks’ schedule.

Your first morning is busy with several safety briefings. Your guide will provide you with instruction in the use of the Avalanche Transceiver and rescue equipment. We will review our skiing and safety procedures and finally your pilot will go through a helicopter safety briefing with you. All guests will be required to sign our Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement. Every effort will be made to keep groups that are traveling together skiing together, however we must reserve the right to build the groups according to our safety guidelines. You'll notice that this is a reoccurring theme in everything we do. Safety First!

The rest of the week follows a more relaxed schedule:

07:30 Breakfast and guides daily announcement
08:30 - 09:00 Helicopters depart for skiing
12:00 Lunch - a hearty meal in the mountains
15:30 - 17:00 Return to the lodge (weather and group dependent)
17:00 Après' ski snacks in the lounge
19:00 Dinner

The last day of your skiing/boarding package is a full ski day. You will return to the lodge at the regular time and you'll have plenty of time to clean up and change prior to checking out. A three course gourmet dinner will be served prior to departing for the airport. At this time we will be taking reservations for the following season and making plans to see you again.

You will arrive in Vancouver by approximately 22:00. We recommend you spend the night at either of the fabulous Fairmont Hotels, the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel or the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel.
