Creating the Ultimate Helicopter Skiing Experience
Northern Escape Heli-Skiing was founded in 2004 by a group of four friends with a dream to develop the ultimate helicopter skiing adventure. John, Benny, Teddy, and Dave share a love for the mountains and skiing, and nothing is more evident than when you jump in the helicopter with them.
Our experience in the heli and cat skiing industry goes back to the 1980’s, the time of long skinny skis, big hair, headbands and fluorescent one pieces. Those were the days! Since that time we’ve honed our skills in every aspect of the business and we can confidently say you will not find a better heli-skiing experience anywhere.
