Interestingly, The 2025 heliskiing year was the culmination of several previous years of bookings...

In 2023, our trip to Ripley Creek with Last Frontier Heli Skiing, was unfortunately plagued with very foggy weather and made it difficult to fly. We did not get in the full five days of heliskiing we had hoped for. I have found my communication and interaction with last Frontier over the years to be exceptional, and at the conclusion of this trip, their typical integrity shined. They made an offer to double our vertical refund, and we took advantage of that.

That left a substantial heliskiing credit on account for a couple years! And we utilized it at Bell 2 Lodge in February.

 Last Frontier Bell 2 Lodge two did not disappoint! Brady skied more than 30,000 vertical feet in the first day and 74,126 feet in the first three days! He got more vertical than any skier in the lodge ! It was an EPIC Trip! See video on Brady's "Best Run of The trip!"

In March of 2025, the Brady brothers finally made it up to Bear Paw Heliskiing near Prince George, BC.

BRADY prepares to board the A-Star for more POW!

The original booking occurred In the summer of 2022! Bear paw only invites eight skiers per week, so with limited capacity, skiers book more than a year in advance. We were originally booked for February of 2024. Yet the day before departure the co-owner, Amber notified us that most of BC was too warm with crusty snow, and The entire region needed a RESET!

As a result, we rebooked the trip for the winter of 2025.

AND IN 2025, IT WAS EPIC! Take a look at the video of "Radical Tree Lines and Steep POW Descents!

As we had mentioned in recounting the epic year of 2025, the previous year's trip in 2024 wasn't planned in advance. Let us correct that...we had every intention of going to Bear Paw Heliskiing in 2024, until the trip was canceled the day before our departure! Oh no! Now what?

So 2024 was when opportunity met desire, and the founder Brady executed his first surgical strike heliskiing mission!

This inviting sign speaks volumes to the personality at NCH

The Pacific Northwest warming trend came to an abrupt halt as February turned to March in 2024. Mount Baker, WA received six feet of snow in two days!

Brady focused in on rebounding from February's disappointment and set his aim on the target - the other side of the Cascades from Baker - the east side of the Cascade Mountain range! In a booking that occurred only seven days in advance, he booked three days of heliskiing at North Cascade Heli.

After a 4 hour drive from Spokane WA, most of it in the dark & snowing...and clueless about where he REALLY was, Brady made it all the way to "The End of The Road" in Mazama Washington. Literally, North Cascade Heli is at the end of the road in Mazama, where the North Cascades Hwy pass closes for the winter.

The route from Spokane was pretty rural (for a Cali kid!)

Four nights & three days heliskiing, included of course, the world famous heli-skier's IPA of choice, Rotor Wash IPA. This is offered to you in the Heli Barn, right after exiting the aircraft! More beers facilitated a very social soaking in the hotel spa with a dozen fellow heli-skiers, followed by the entire crew transitioning over to the local Mazama Pub & Brewery! (Where the Rotor Wash is specifically brewed for NCH!)

Rotor Wash IPA - Said to be the ONLY craft beer in North America brewed exclusively for heliskiing!

Super great VIBE!

Another EPIC Trip!

And on the last night, before departure, Brady was the only guest in the hotel...it was right out of the movie The Shining! (See video.)
