Eagle Pass Heli Skiing

The Eagle Pass Heli Ski lodge is all-inclusive, nestled into the wilderness of the Monashee Mountains and sitting alongside the great Columbia River. This 12-room lodge retains the rustic, remote energy of a traditional backcountry retreat, while still maintaining modern amenities and comforts that’ll make your trip delightful. 

With an onsite helipad, you’ll be able to step out of the lodge in the morning after a satisfying breakfast, jump in the heli, and be well on your way to the best powder lines of your life. Some amenities that you can expect during your stay include:

• Private, single-occupancy bedrooms with en suite bathrooms
• Full-service bar
• Finnish sauna and yoga room
• Massage therapy
• Gear closet and drying area
• Outdoor hot tub

Many Eagle Pass Heli Skiing reviews mention the exceptional dedication to cuisine. You’ll benefit from a private executive chef and culinary team while staying at the lodge. With fresh gourmet meals sourced from local ingredients and an extensive selection of spirits and wine, you’ll be gastronomically pampered every day!

Eagle Pass’s tenure is designed specifically for small-group heli skiing. With a small skier-to-guide ratio, your group will be able to venture into more challenging, consequential terrain where the room for error is smaller. However, this danger is what contributes to exhilaration. This operator’s terrain spans 390,000 acres in the heart of the Monashees, a mountain range notorious for its large quantities of blower snow. In fact, this region can receive anywhere between 40 and 60 feet each year.

The longest run at Eagle Pass Heliskiing is longer than a top to bottom run at Whistler-Blackcomb, so there’s no question as to the level of entertainment you’ll receive. The small group focus also allows this operator to charge hard, stacking up runs more quickly than other operators. 

Above all else, tree skiing prevails. The glades available in the Monashees are second to none, consistently pitched, and endless. Skiing amongst century-old trees is an awe-inducing experience – that is if you even have time to absorb the serenity of the wilderness when you’re bombing it with fellow skiers.

Eagle Pass Heliskiing is not for the faint of heart. This operator requires advanced and expert-level skiing abilities. Previous experience with heliskiing, cat skiing, or backcountry skiing is an absolute must, along with the ability to ski fast in knee-deep powder. This is why film crews like Vans, TransWorld Snowboarding, and Redbull have used this tenure to score epic shots.

Eagle Pass has a variety of packages that are right for both individual travelers and groups of friends. As mentioned, the priority is on small-group excursions. You’ll never share the B2 A-Star helicopter with more than 3 other skiers and 1 guide, so you’re guaranteed a personalized experience that’s in tune with your skiing needs. In addition, a gourmet on-mountain lunch is included with every package.

Although down days are rare, they do happen occasionally. In this case, your best option is to go ski or ride at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, as Eagle Pass doesn’t provide optional activities like cat skiing.

Packages offered include:

• Day Heli: A perfect addition to a larger trip to Revelstoke, single day heliskiing adventures shoot for 8 runs, with 6 being guaranteed. You’ll share a helicopter with 3 other groups, meaning you’ll occasionally need to wait for the helicopter to arrive.
• All Inclusive Lodge Packages: These multi-day packages come in 3, 4, or 7-day varieties. They give you the most access to Monashee terrain with unlimited vertical. All amenities at the lodge are included, providing you with a well-rounded way to experience the B.C. backcountry.
• Private Packages: This package can accommodate any group size, with all members sharing one helicopter. You’ll be provided with complete customization and the ability to explore deeper in Eagle Pass Heliskiing’s tenure. Pricing is entirely variable based on the group size and how long you’ll want to stay for.
