Monashee Heli Skiing
Heli Ski British Columbia

Summary

The Monashees present perhaps the most challenging skiing of any of our British Columbia locations and are suitable only for experienced heli-skiers who normally ski in the advanced groups of other areas.  Between 60 and 90 percent of Monashees skiing is in a mature, naturally well-spaced forest.  Along with some of the best tree skiing on earth, the Monashees is also admired for its long, consistently steep-pitched runs.

Monashees also accommodates private groups with a maximum of four skiers throughout the season.  Operating independently from the regular programs, these private groups enjoy unlimited skiing thanks to their private helicopter and two guides.
