Picture yourself navigating pristine fjords and gazing at majestic glacial-capped mountains while cruising along the ocean on a 138 ft catamaran equipped with a heli-pad. This remarkable catamaran-based heli-skiing experience promises a fresh adventure each day and a magical anchorage each night.

From skiing on secluded islands to invigorating cold-water swims, relaxing in a top-deck hot tub on your floating haven, or immersing yourself in a natural beachfront hot spring, your stay is defined by opulent amenities. With the world’s finest heli-skiing, the liberty and thrill of having your private yacht and helicopter for up to eight glorious days await you.

Terrain

Embarking on the MV Cascadia promises a heli-skiing adventure like no other, navigating the coastal shores of British Columbia. Against the backdrop of the Coast Mountains, guests are immersed in diverse terrain where annual snowfall ranges from 20 to 30 metres.

This sets the stage for descents on long ski runs, weaving through pristine powder. The landscape unfolds its wonders, offering access to alpine bowls, dramatic spines, meandering couloirs, and glaciated terrain.

MV Cascadia redefines the heli-skiing experience, breaking free from traditional lodges and granting access to untouched terrain spanning an impressive 3,550,000 acres (14,370 km²).
