Small Group Heli Skiing
At Northern Escape Heli-Skiing, we believe that a heliskiing adventure is one of the best ways to bond with friends, family, or colleagues. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a corporate retreat, or are a group of thrill-seeking friends, this experience offers the perfect combination of excitement, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable memories. Here are a few Heli Skiing tips to help you plan the ultimate group heli ski trip:
1. Choose the Right Group Size
Heli skiing is all about personalization, so it's important to consider the ideal group size for your adventure. Most heli ski operations, including ours, offer small group Heli Skiing to ensure a more intimate and tailored experience. For families or friends, groups of 4 or 5 work best, while corporate groups can split into smaller teams to take full advantage of the helicopter’s capacity.
2. Consider a Full Lodge Buyout
For larger groups, a full lodge buyout is the way to go. A Private Lodge and Helicopter is the pinnacle of heli skiing and the ultimate in exclusivity and service. There are also often group discounts available when booking the full lodge. At Northern Escape you’ll receive a free seat for the
group organizer, or split it amongst the group, for a group of 10 at the Mountain Lodge and a group of 16 at the Yellow Cedar Lodge.
3. Customize Your Trip
One of the great benefits of heli-skiing is flexibility. Whether you want to focus on easy runs or tackle challenging terrain, your guide will work with your group’s skill level to curate a day that fits everyone. For mixed skill groups, we offer options to split up, ensuring everyone has an incredible time.
4. Plan for Non-Skiers
At Northern Escape, we offer special packages for non-skiers who prefer to enjoy the comfort of the lodge while the rest of the group takes on the mountains. Our lodge features a cozy fireplace, a soothing hot tub, and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape—perfect for those looking to relax in style. With delicious meals served throughout the day, non-skiers can enjoy a truly serene experience, all while their friends and family are out exploring the rugged terrain. It’s the ideal way for everyone to enjoy a luxury ski holiday, regardless of their skiing ability.
5. Create Lasting Memories
Heli-skiing is a unique experience that’s all about the shared adventure. After a day of incredible runs, you’ll return to cozy lodges to recount the highlights with your group, enjoying delicious meals and drinks together. It's the perfect way to bond and create memories that will last a lifetime.
A group heli-ski trip with Northern Escape is not just about the skiing; it’s about connecting, challenging yourself, and experiencing something extraordinary with those who matter most. Ready for the adventure? Let’s make it happen!
