Heliskiing Canada:
The World’s Largest Single Heliskiing Tenure

We recommend that heliskiing guests be strong intermediate to advanced skiers or snowboarders—comfortable on black diamond runs at a ski resort. You don't need to be an expert, but confidence in variable snow conditions and ungroomed terrain is essential. Our guides tailor terrain selection to each group's ability, doing their best to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience.

January is prime time for deep tree skiing — shorter, colder days with frequent snowfall mean the forests are loaded and the snow quality is often some of the best of the year. February and March deliver the best of both worlds — a solid mix of alpine and tree skiing, longer days, and a deep, established snowpack. These are our most popular months for good reason. Late March and April shift the focus to big alpine terrain — long bluebird days, a huge snowpack, and access to our steepest lines. Each period has a character of its own, and there's no wrong time to visit Last Frontier.

Safety is foundational to everything we do at Last Frontier Heliskiing. All guests receive comprehensive avalanche safety briefings and are equipped with transceivers, airbag packs, probes, and shovels. Our ACMG-certified guides conduct daily snow stability assessments and select terrain appropriate for the day's conditions. We've mandated avalanche airbags for all guests and guides since 2008 — one of the first operators in the industry to do so. We're members of HeliCat Canada and adhere to the industry's rigorous safety standards.

Bell 2 Lodge is our off-grid heliski village in the Skeena Mountains — a cluster of cozy log cabins with wood-burning stoves, heated tile floors, and walk-in showers in every room. The helicopter pad sits right outside the main lodge. With terrain in every direction, it's purpose-built for heliskiing. Maximum 36 guests.

Ripley Creek is based in the historic frontier town of Stewart, BC, at the head of a 114-kilometre saltwater fjord near the Alaska border. The rooms are spread across heritage buildings --- no two alike --- and it accesses the dramatic Coast Mountain Range with its steep glaciated peaks and towering old-growth timber. Maximum 24 guests. Ripley Creek's terrain tends to be steeper and more rugged, best suited to advanced and expert skiers and riders.

In 1994, our founders heard tales of legendary terrain from renowned mountain guide Herb Bleuer—one of the pioneers of heliskiing alongside Hans Gmoser. They explored Northern BC and discovered vast, untouched mountain ranges with a scope and variety of terrain they didn't think possible. Last Frontier began operations in 1996, and that pioneering spirit of exploration continues today. Our exclusive tenure provides unmatched terrain variety, operational flexibility during weather changes, and the simple joy of skiing runs that feel genuinely remote and unexplored.
