Heli-Access Ski Experience

Join us for Heli-Access Skiing - with Daily Yoga, Massage & Spa Relaxation, and delicious fine dining away from the crowds. After an exciting day in the snow, relax in the hot tub & steam room, enjoy a replenishing massage, and share adventure stories by the fire. Coastal Trek is a unique lodge in a unique setting. Situated one mountain south of Mt Washington (45 mins drive) on Forbidden Plateau, our ski programs benefit from accessibility to Mt Washington's facilities, whilst enjoying the peace, privacy and unique setting of Forbidden Plateau. We choose the best rated guides, and pride ourselves in creating unique winter experiences away from the crowds.

Heli-Access skiing is the ultimate experience for those of you who want to reach otherwise unreachable heights - awesome terrain, skiing fresh tracks in the wild backcountry. Skiing ungroomed snow can be challenging for a lot of people, meaning your first days in the backcountry can be harder work than expected.

During our Heli-Access Backcountry Performance program, spend 3 days developing your skills at Mount Washington, before jumping in a helicopter with Island Alpine Guides and head off into the wilds of Vancouver Island for an unforgettable ski adventure. Daily yoga, spa facilities and treatments at the lodge help you relax and unwind and prepare for the day ahead.
