We fly in small groups of four guests with one guide which means more skiing and less waiting.
Enjoy three days of heli-skiing in the magnificent North Cascades, landing on some of the most breathtaking peaks and ridge lines imaginable and descending thousands upon thousands of vertical feet through untouched powder.

Terrain, ability and who it is for
- Confident intermediate to expert ability is required to go heli-skiing.

- Our guests need to be fit enough to take 8 heli-skiing descents at a moderate pace in all kinds of snow conditions.
- Our permit includes multiple zones spread out across 300,000 acres with expansive bowls, chutes, couloirs, glades, and treed runs.
- Our 300,000-acre permit area allows us access to mountainous elevations ranging from 4,500-feet to 8,500 feet.
- We do not guarantee vertical - we guarantee eight runs per day. This typically translates to at least 14,000 vertical feet for those eight runs with the good probability the total will be higher.
