Stellar Heliskiing

About

Stellar Heliskiing operates across 125,000 acres of pristine terrain in the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges of British Columbia's Kootenays — one of the snowiest regions on earth with over 18 metres of annual snowfall. What sets Stellar apart is their commitment to small groups: just 4 guests per helicopter with one certified CSGA or ACMG guide. This means more personalized terrain selection, more runs per day, and a genuinely intimate mountain experience. Seven distinct ski zones offer terrain for every ability level — from wide-open alpine bowls above 3,000 metres to steep old-growth forest runs, pillow lines, glaciers, and technical chutes. Whether you're a strong intermediate making your first helicopter turns or an expert seeking steep and deep, Stellar's guides match the terrain to your group. Based in Kaslo, a charming lakeside village on Kootenay Lake, guests stay at the historic Kaslo Hotel with mountain and lake views. After a full day of powder skiing, unwind at The Waypoint Restaurant with local craft beer and creative West Kootenay cuisine. Stellar offers single-day trips for those short on time, multi-day unlimited vertical packages for the committed powder hunter, and fully customizable adventures. The Kootenays' legendary cold smoke powder, combined with Stellar's small-group philosophy, makes this one of the most authentic heliskiing experiences in British Columbia.
