Eagle Pass Heliskiing flies out of Revelstoke, British Columbia, and visitors enjoy some of the most beautiful terrain in all of Canada. I can honestly say this as I have skied at every major resort in Canada, and nothing else comes close. The terrain is amazing, and the guides are professional and friendly.

Imagine waking up in a place called Echo Bay on the shore of the beautiful Arrow Lakes in a private wilderness lodge. Imagine enjoying a delicious homemade breakfast with stunning views of the Rocky Mountains in the background. While you sip your coffee and dream about the day ahead, a helicopter lands softly in the yard. You get your first goose bumps of the day.

Along with the excitement in the air, it’s a great comfort to know you are in the hands of seasoned professionals who treat your safety as paramount. After breakfast, the certified guides lead the orientation on helicopter and snow safety to prepare you for the day ahead.

You can feel the power of the rotor blades as the bird begins to lift off. And you can feel the jet turbine pulsing through every fiber of your body. Excitement and anticipation are etched on everyone’s faces.

Eagle Pass Heliskiing operates in the fabled Monashee Mountains. It’s where the term “champagne powder” originated to describe snowflakes lighter, fluffier, drier and larger than anything you’ve seen before. There’s powder, and then there’s champagne powder. They’re different. It’s something you can’t fully appreciate until you’ve experienced the unbelievable lightness for yourself.

It’s a short helicopter ride from the secluded lodge past the majestic granite peaks of the Gold Range. The views are endless and breathtaking. As the Columbia River fades in the valley below, you think to yourself, “Where are we going to land?”

Every direction features towering spires, snow-covered bowls, open glades and frozen glaciers.

Then it happens. The helicopter lands gently on a mountain pinnacle. You and three other guests get out and kneel beside the bird. The helicopter peels back down the mountain.

Silence. Stillness. Serenity.

You realize you are on top of the world. The whoops of excitement begin. Below you is some of the deepest and lightest powder snow you will ever experience.

There are no bad runs. No lift lines. No tracks to spoil your view. With runs in the 3,000- to 4,000-foot range, you may wonder if the bottom even exists. And when you get there, your helicopter is already waiting.

Eagle Pass Heliskiing has unlimited vertical. This means you ski or ride as much as you want until the day is done. No extra vertical charges. Ever. That’s a very good thing.

When you’ve had your fill for the day, a short ride whisks you back to the lodge. There are two full-size hot tubs waiting, along with a massage therapist. There is also a chef with your gourmet dinner and a bartender with your favorite après ski drinks. The only thing left to do is relive each line with your friends.

You can call Eagle Pass Heliskiing today and experience your own piece of paradise.

It’s a life changing experience with a guaranteed smile.
