BIG MOUNTAINS. SMALL GROUPS.
Designed for skiers and snowboarders who value exceptional terrain, intimate group sizes, and a great pace in the mountains, our Classic Program pairs small-group heliskiing with the comfort and atmosphere of our remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies.
With only four guests per guide and two dedicated A-Star helicopters serving a maximum of sixteen guests, groups move efficiently throughout the day, with the flexibility to ski at a pace that suits their style and energy.
From perfectly spaced tree runs and legendary pillow lines to expansive alpine terrain, each day is thoughtfully planned by our guide team around conditions, weather, and guest objectives making the most of the mountains and every opportunity to ski.
Back at the lodge, the moments are equally memorable, shaped by gourmet dining, fireside après, time to recover, and the camaraderie that naturally follows a great day in the mountains.
