Stellar Heliskiing

Skip the Lift Line.

Stellar specialise in small group heli skiing.

Whether you’re a first-time heli skier, a group of friends looking to create lifelong memories, or a seasoned veteran in search of bottomless powder, they’ve got you covered.  Their packages range from a single day of shredding to multi-day custom adventures. They only operate in small groups with a B3 Astar helicopter which means they can be more agile and venture into more interesting terrain.

Stellar sees over 18 meters (60ft) of snowfall each year, and the snow they ski is some of the deepest and driest in the world. With terrain rising to over 3,000 meters, guests are able to ski/ride open bowls, high alpine peaks, and magnificent old growth forests that are suited for everyone, whether you are a first time backcountry skier or expert powder rider. All of this terrain is just a short helicopter ride away!

Located on the shores of Kootenay Lake in the village of Kaslo, The Kaslo Hotel is your powder lodge. 

Kaslo is on the western shoreline of Kootenay Lake and surrounded by the mighty Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. The Kootenays are known for their laid back vibe, friendly people, and an uncontainable love of mountain culture. You can’t help but be relaxed – and stoked – when you’re spending time here. It feels genuine, and far removed from the glitzy hype of many resort towns.  The Kaslo Hotel is the heart of town and offers incredible views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Their large, spacious rooms feature high ceilings and walk-out balconies, bringing to mind a European Chateau. The penthouse-level suites offer self-contained kitchen units with ample room to really relax. Outside, the mountain and lake vistas inspire and invite you to get out and explore.
