About Northern Escape
Since 2004 Northern Escape Heli Skiing has operated small group heli skiing in Northern BC’s Skeena Mountains near Terrace, BC. Our premium heli experience, three boutique lodges, snowcat skiing backup and big mountain, deep powder terrain attracts riders from around the world.
We are active in our local community and one of the only carbon neutral heli ski operations in the world. In recent years we have achieved significant growth in our business, opening two new lodges since 2020 alone.
Our mission is to become the premier, boutique heli ski operation worldwide.
Who You are
You are customer service driven, able to thrive in fast-paced environments, personable, highly-experienced in your field, and most importantly, easy going. You love the mountains and spending time in nature. Our guests come from around the globe and for many, this is the trip of their lifetime. You are as important to that experience as the deep powder slopes we ride.
“We’re a team here at NEH, and while we work hard, we also find time to have a lot of fun. This is really a special place and a great place to learn, and grow and experience the beauty of Northern BC.”
Benefits of working at NEH
- Competitive wages and gratuities.
- Private housing: All staff have their own private rooms. Staff at Mountain Lodge share facilities. Terrace staff have self-contained suites.
- Chef-prepared meals while working.
- A great learning environment.
- Heli and Snowcat skiing and boarding opportunities.
- Intro to Heli Skiing Program: New for winter 22/23, we aim to get all our non-ski staff out to experience the thrill of world-class powder skiing in Northern BC. The skiing at NEH is generally expert level, and in past years we’ve been unable to take out many staff, as they would not be able to keep up with the group. We’d like to change that. This program will be for those less experienced skiers. While we can’t guarantee how often that will be, our goal is to give all staff the opportunity to have several heli ski days this season.
- Shames Ski Pass: We have several seasons passes to Shames Mountain for staff to use on off-days. Improve your riding for when you get a spot in the machine!
- Easy access from Vancouver via five or more daily flights and a short shuttle to our lodges.
- Pro deals and discounted ski gear.
- Opportunities for year round employment with our new summer operations.
Terrace: Gateway to the North
The town of Terrace is a great place to spend the winter. There are cozy pubs with great atmosphere and all the amenities you’ll need in this town of 14,600. Nearby Shames Mountain has been called the great antidote to today’s mega resorts and one of the most authentic, small town ski areas in North America. If you’re into ski touring, there’s enough slackcountry and backcountry available around Shames that will keep you busy for an entire season.
Nearby Smithers (only 2 hours away) is another fantastic ski town with Hudson Bay Mountain, and lots more backcountry to explore. The non-motorized Hankin-Evelyn ski area is one of the world’s first gladed, dedicated ski touring areas with access to alpine bowls, big terrain and a day hut and overnight shelter.
Terrace is renowned as having some of the best steelhead and fly fishing in the world in the Skeena River and its tributaries. In the summer months the mountains come alive with wildflowers, and wildlife like black bears, grizzlies and elk. Outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking and paddling are possible.
