The Skeena Mountain range has a huge diversity of terrain, from the high vertical slopes with steeps to powder bowls with pillows and shoots. Heli skiing doesn’t stop during bad weather with plenty of tree skiing and an abundance of sweeping glades. Skeena’s geographical location and diversity of terrain allows us to consistently enjoy one of the lowest number of down days in the industry.

Our nearest airport (Smithers) is located only 1.5 hours from Vancouver and 2.5 hours from Calgary. Flights are available daily from Vancouver International Airport directly to Smithers. Calgary flights are daily via Prince George. Our van shuttle will take you on the 1½ hr drive from Smithers to the Bear Claw Lodge.

Our highly experienced guides are UIAGM or ACMG/CSGA certified and and our helicopter pilots have many hours mountain flying experience. Our staff are there to ensure your safety whilst leading your group or flying you from run to run.
