Hillcrest Hotel @ Selkirk Tangiers Helicopter Skiing
Heliskiing pioneers with world-class terrain
There aren't many heli-skiing terrains like the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains - whether you're looking for huge glaciers, spectacular alpine slopes or the finest tree skiing. With many natural features, the terrain around Canada's freeride capital Revelstoke is top class in all areas. And Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing knows the best spots. Read more.
Since the late 1970s, Selkirk Tangiers has been flying its guests to the two mountain ranges, which are known for their large amounts of snow and stable snow cover. Here you can surf comfortably on wide slopes or master real challenges in the steepest terrain. In the Classic program, Selkirk Tangiers flies in large groups of up to ten to eleven guests (depending on weight). With small group semi-private arrangements, three to five winter sports enthusiasts share the helicopter. You can also book private packages.Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing has been part of Revelstoke Mountain Resort since 2007. It has already been named Canada's best ski resort at the Ski Awards. If you catch one of the rare down days, the ski area with North America's highest vertical drop (1,713 meters) offers a worthwhile alternative. The terrain bowls and great tree skiing in the resort are also ideal for warming up before heliskiing.

Our verdict on the Coast Hillcrest Hotel
Fantastic powder, countless runs and playful terrain with pillow lines and cliffs make Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing one of the top addresses for heliskiing in Canada. The area borders the Glacier National Park, among others. This provides access to fantastic glacier runs against a fantastic mountain backdrop. High alpine runs and tree skiing with open glades are equally outstanding. And thanks to its proximity to Revelstoke Mountain Resort, you can ski in excellent terrain even when the helicopters have to stay on the ground. Our conclusion: Classic programs from Selkirk Tangiers offer very good, small group and private packages offer almost unbeatable heliskiing.
