Enjoy unparalleled terrain with Great Bear Heli-Skiing, where you’ll share the slopes with just seven other skiers. Most first runs are within a five-minute flight from the lodge, offering excellent tree skiing and expansive alpine glaciers. The unique geography of the Central Coast and Eastern Great Bear Rainforest provides dense, skiable terrain and exceptional tree skiing, even in poor weather. Our location benefits from both Pacific moisture and cooler interior air, ensuring diverse and excellent conditions.
