    At Eagle Pass Heliskiing we offer some of the best small group heliskiing and riding on the planet. With over 1000 sq. km or 600 sq. miles of ski terrain in an area known for huge snowfalls we always have untracked areas to go to. With an intimate private lodge,epic runs and experienced guides and pilots we can offer you an unforgettable Canadian heliski experience.

    Eagle Pass Heliskiing wrapped up an epic inaugural season in March 2007. We had an overwhelming positive response from our guests and many experienced heliskiers stated the ski terrain was among the best they had seen. The tree skiing terrain in particular was simply awesome and by seasons end we had skiied over 40 new tree runs with most of these within 6 minutes flight from the lodge. The guests were also impressed with the lodge and the level of service recieved. Ease of access and no avalanche closures when arriving through Kelowna made getting to Eagle Pass a no hassle experience.

    Region/Mountain Range

    Eagle Pass Helicopter Skiing is a new tenure which lies in the heart of the best helicopter skiing country in Canada, the Monashee Mountains. Our tenure is bordered by two of Canada’s largest helicopter skiing companies Canadian Mountain Holidays and Selkirk Tangiers Helicopter Skiing and is just south of Mike Wigele Helicopter Skiing’s southern boundary.
          
    This area of the Monashees is known for deep snow. The west slope of the Monashees is the first mountainous area east of BC’s Coast Mountains. Because of this we get near coastal amounts of snow with cooler interior temperatures. This high quality snow, coupled with perfectly spaced trees, open bowls and glaciers results in what many experienced skiers consider to be the best deep powder helicopter skiing in the world. At Eagle Pass Helicopter Skiing we have many classic tree runs very close to the lodge. This fantastic close skiing is a great advantage during periods of heavy snowfall.
