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.
