This trip offers something else—it’s a mix of big, bold Alaskan lines and Canada’s legendary powder.

Your guides are based in Atlin, BC, near Juneau, Alaska, and 2 hours southeast of Whitehorse, Yukon. At the turn of the century, gold fever put Atlin on the map—making Atlin a real gold rush town! Tucked away in the far northwestern corner of British Columbia on BC’s largest natural lake, Atlin remains a hidden gem: peaceful, isolated, and untouched by the outside world.

Atlin is home to just 475 people—a small fraction of its gold rush heyday—yet its frontier spirit has never faded. The town has endured, transformed, and found new treasures in its wild surroundings. Today, it’s a different kind of gold rush: one for skiers chasing untouched lines and the thrill of discovery. Adventure still runs deep through these mountains, and so does the community. In the North, people look out for one another—and that genuine connection is the real gold you’ll find here.

To join this British Columbia heli skiing adventure, we recommend skiers and boarders be intermediate (blue) to advanced (black) ski resort skiers/riders, but all abilities can be accommodated.

If you feel relatively comfortable on varied terrain and snow conditions, you should be fine. As you progress through the trip, your confidence and capabilities will grow and your guides will be able to introduce you to more challenging terrain. The best way to learn to ski deep powder is to ski deep powder!

If you want to take advantage of this unlimited vertical, fitness is important. If you want to be skiing consecutive days, the fitter you are, the better your ski holiday will be and the more fun you will have.

This adventure also offers amazing activities (dog sledding, snow mobiles, x-country skiing, snowshoes and aurora tours). There’s lots of fun things to do for those wanting to take a “rest day” or “non-skiers” still wanting to join the fun!

Liability waivers are a standard part of all guided outdoor adventures. Recently, the requirements have become a bit more rigorous for ACMG guides—meaning that you’ll need to agree to the signing of the waiver at the time of booking.

Prior to booking, we ask you to review the waiver. During the checkout process, you’ll have to acknowledge the risks and agree to the signing of the waiver. You are required to bring a printed copy on the trip.

Please note that signing and agreeing to the terms of the waiver is required in order to join this adventure. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us prior to booking.

Being in the northwest corner of BC, tucked under the Yukon and bordering Alaska, this area has the most consistent, best guaranteed snow on the planet! Atlin is warmer than Whitehorse and the closer you get to Alaska and the coast, the deeper the snowpack gets—this British Columbia heli skiing adventure is one of a kind.

With this massive terrain, your guides can hand pick the best conditions every day. The future of heli skiing is in the north as southern climates get warmer and wetter. February through May offers the best snow in this neck of the woods. The snow here stays dry, as you can imagine, which means bottomless powder through February, March, April, and even May. Spring skiing brings long days and endless light as we near the solstice.

Absolutely. It’s your vacation, so you can ski for as long or as short a day as you wish. In fact, some guests prefer to ski a half day or come in earlier to relax before après begins. Your guide and pilots will accommodate this by coordinating with one of our helicopters coming to the lodge to refuel.

The lodge you’ll be staying at is a vacation destination in itself. You’ll have a beautiful acreage overlooking Atlin Lake, with space to snowshoe, cross-country ski, skate on the lake, soak in the hot tub, unwind in the sauna, or kick back in the evening and watch the northern lights.
