Why Heli-skiing is the Perfect Family Winter Adventure

Why Heli-skiing is the Perfect Family Winter Adventure

Avoid the crowds of popular ski resorts and escape this winter season for a secluded mountain retreat at Northern Escape Heli-Skiing (NEH), located in the picturesque Skeena Mountains in northwest British Columbia. Northern Escape offers a wide variety of adventure skiing and snowboarding activities, all-inclusive stays in its newly-built, off-the-grid lodge and unlimited ski terrain that will help you create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Northern Escape is also one of the few certified carbon-neutral heli-skiing operators worldwide.

The remote BC ski outfitter has launched a new heli-skiing package specifically designed for families (kids aged 12+). The 5-day family heli-ski package costs CAD $41,995 (US $32,820) for up to five guests, and includes a private ski guide and winter-vacation perks, such as starry nights in a hot tub, sommelier curated wine list, Red Seal chefs and of course the safety equipment to ensure you have a worry-free stay. Enjoy the crisp mountain breeze on your face and your own private runs with fluffy pillows of powder while feeling safe in your family circle. If you are a confident intermediate resort skier or boarder, heli-skiing is a perfect family-bonding activity for you!

NEH takes safety seriously. Heli-skiing guides are ACMG and CSGA certified, which means they are trained to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience. They are also specifically trained for the mechanized skiing industry and can respond to any issues that may arise. They will provide you with a thorough education on how to interact with the mountain environment, and how to use the provided safety equipment.
