Yellow Cedar Lodge @ Northern Escape Heli-Skiing
Yellow Cedar Lodge @ Northern Escape Heli-Skiing
Small groups, short distances and lots of time in deep powder
Powder skiing in small groups, a real catskiing backup and one of the shortest journeys in the entire heli-skiing world: at the Yellow Cedar Lodge of Northern Escape Heli-Skiing you can push your deep snow adventure to the limit. And all this in the deep snow of the Skeena Mountains, where strong skiers and snowboarders feel particularly at home. Even on the last day of your booked package, you can fly from morning to night. The flexible small groups also contribute to the fact that the included vertical meters are often fully utilized. Do you want to ride a lot and fast? Then book the Unlimited package from Northern Escape. And if the helicopters can't take off due to heavy snowfall, you can simply switch to the "Cat". With the snowcat, which has been converted for passengers, you can explore the almost 30 square kilometer Catskiing area of Northern Escape with runs up to 600 meters in altitude. You'll have the most fun among the trees. It may not be heliskiing, but you'd rather be catskiing in the forest than having a "down day" with table football and table tennis in the lodge, wouldn't you?
