Northern British Columbia is the natural choice for those looking to safeguard their heli ski trip. With its consistently high annual snowfalls and abundant, expansive terrain choices, it’s the safest bet when all you want to do is ride epic conditions.

We are often asked, here at Last Frontier, when is the best time to take that special Heli Skiing break? Our general answer to this is anytime! Being based in northern BC we are lucky to have access to some of the most snow-sure mountains in the world with a great and reliable snowpack. With averages of over twenty meters of snow each year, it is very unlikely that conditions are ever less than favorable. And with access to over 2.2 million acres, we are sure we can find hidden powder stashes, even up to a week after the last snowfall.
Yet we understand that all our clients are different, and some people’s ideas of skiing heaven are not the same as everyone else’s. Our guides, fortunately, love to ski in any conditions, and have a great understanding for what you want as guests.

At Last Frontier Heliskiing we offer a range heliskiing packages to suit the unique preferences of our skiers and boarders. We can offer trips from short, intensive four-day escapes, to longer and more exotic heliski safaris. Whatever your aspirations are, we will see to it that you will get the most out of your time in the mountains of Northern British Columbia.
Regardless of which of the six unique heliski tours you decide to participate in, we can guarantee the following. You will be skiing the largest single heli ski area on the planet, which gives us the flexibility to work with the weather and find the best available conditions. We’ll never guarantee you waist deep powder every day – but it happens on a regular basis, which is why year after year our guests continue to return. You will also have access to the very best and most qualified (A.C.M.G. or U.I.A.G.M. certified) guides. The terrain you’ll experience will be varied with wide, open bowls, epic tree runs and steeps (snow stability depending). Since we only ski with small groups, you won’t have to worry about group slow downs and traffic jams. Lastly with our vertical drop guarantee you know that you are getting exactly what you paid for, without running the risk of paying for vertical in advance that you may never be able to ski.
