Safety Is Number 1
Stay Safe Heli Skiing
At Northern Escape we strive for the highest level of safety possible. Not only for our guests but for our staff as well. That’s why we are working on getting our COR certification. The Certificate of Recognition program (COR) is an occupational health and safety audit and certification that rewards employers that go above and beyond the legal requirements of the Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations. It is a process that is not easily met, but we are up for the challenge! Read more
Heli Skiing booking guide
Guide to booking your heli ski vacation with Northern Escape Heli Skiing:
We get that question often and the answer is very simple: every month is the perfect month to go heli skiing. Mother nature is unpredictable and we take what we can get but to help you understand the average kind of weather we get here, we have come up with a brief description: January tends to be the stormiest and the deepest. We’ll spend about 70% of the time in the trees and 30% in the alpine. February tends to stabilize some, the skiing and riding is still quite deep and we spend about a 50/50 split between trees and alpine. March starts to see the weather stabilize even more. The skiing is deep, but just a little more settled. We tend to spend about 70% of the time in the alpine and 30% in the trees at this time.
2) Which package and how many days should I book?

New Year’s at Northern Escape
Fireworks at Yellow Cedar Lodge

Take your pick from a 3, 4 or 5 day Classic Heli-Ski package that all end on new year’s day. We ran this package last year and our guests had a blast. The snow at this time of the year is usually light dry fluffy powder not to mention DEEP, as the storms blast the coast mountains. Read more
Packing for Heli-Skiing
Heli Ski Season Approaches
As the Heli Ski season approaches, it seems the Long Range Forecast to date has been pretty much correct and the early season snow keeps on building deeper and deeper! Reports and observations confirm that this past week alone, we received over 2 meters (6 feet) of snow, treeline and above, and it’s showing no signs of stopping! We expect to see another 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) more over the next several days. Read more
PRESEASON HELI SKI EXERCISE – GET YOUR LEGS READY
Here it comes!
Changes for Visitors to Canada in 2016
Winter Forecast = SNOW
Jet stream on the war path!
The new forecast puts ENSO (EL NIÑO/SOUTHERN OSCILLATION) neutral conditions lasting well into fall before Ullr’s prized pow arrives for the winter. However, that same forecast has the jet stream moving further north as a ridge builds along the Pacific Crest, giving way to large snowfall totals for the Pacific North West, along with coastal and interior British Columbia. We are excited about this forecast. Read more
We’re Back!
NEH Selected As Primary Heli Ski Research Location

Heli Boarding uses a helicopter to access vast remote areas of untracked deep powder, which is the pinnacle of snowboarding experiences. Read more
K2 new to NEH
The right ski for the job
So what makes us choose the type of ski that we carry in our rental fleet? Well the answer is simple: Many years of combined input from top skier’s field testing mixed with the latest greatest technology. We know that your trip is super important and we want to provide you with the best possible gear. The snowpack in the coastal mountains mean that we need a ski that can both float on the powder and be nimble when we end up skiing the trees. This year we have added the K2 Pinnacle 118 to our fleet. Read more
NEH Upgrades their Snowcats
New Cabins being built for our snowcats
Here at northern Escape, we are constantly trying to provide the best possible experience to our guests. We just finished a deal to buy two brand new, state of the art passenger cabs for our snowcats. These new cabins are made from fibreglass and are custom fit to meet our needs in the mountains. They are built to be light weight thus making the cats more fuel efficient and faster. Shorter turnaround time means that you will get more skiing in during your time at Catland. Read more
