GUIDE RECAP - 2026 HELISKI SEASON
We had a decent 2026 season with some epic powder days....and a few days that weren't as great. We started off with an above average snowpack over the holiday season, that built the foundation for a succesful season of powder skiing.

The majority of BC suffered from tricky conditions in January, however, lucky for us, we started our season at the very end of January.

February and March had some incredible conditions, with more than one storm that brought over 100cm of fresh snow, filling glaciers and making perfect top to bottom conditions for guests.

This year we had the opportunity to ski more often in our far South Western tenure. Our single-group-per-helicopter program made exploring farther possible, and gave our guests the chance to ski through terrain that is not often visited by human beings. While out in this remote section of the tenure, our guides gave guests the opportunity to make first descents down variations of some of our most fabled terrain. Standout descents included Malibu Beach, Gold Town, and Inglewood, in perfect boot-top powder from top to bottom.

We finished the season in mid April, with one last large powder storm blanketing the tenure, and gifting our guests one of the best weeks of the season. The 2 photos in this post are from that trip. The lucky guests had the chance to ski the perfect trifecta of skiing;
- steep
- deep
- and long runs.

Standout favourites were Swinging Sporran and Switch.

We can't wait for the next season....we've already order a new fleet of skis!

In addition to 2027, our 2028 dates and rates are live!
