 ...Ski Touring Days and Starry Nights Traversing the Monashee Range!

Heli Canada Adventures' seven-day Monashee Traverse ski touring expedition creates outstanding backcountry skiing adventures and lasting memories. The adventures begin with an exhilarating helicopter flight into the Northern Monashee Mountains, just west of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. Then we'll spend seven days and six nights traversing the Monashees, home to thousands of acres of pristine alpine and sub-alpine slopes...skiing an awesome variety of backcountry terrain, and tent camping under brilliant stars.

Here in Canada's Rocky Mountains, the days and nights are pure magic, whether nature provides cloudless blue skies or a new snowfall blanketing the peaks. The backcountry slopes stretch to the horizon, trackless and deep with powder: your only task is to enjoy the adventures of this week-long ski touring expedition. Skiing climbs to the high alpine peaks will reward you with unparalleled backcountry views, while long descents await on the glaciers and on the powder slopes, where skiing feels just like floating.

Heli Canada Adventures bases our ski touring expedition adventures at three different camps, ensuring a full range of backcountry skiing terrain. And the expedition's camp life adds to the adventures: enjoying backcountry gourmet meals, sipping hot chocolate in the company of fellow ski touring enthusiasts and our highly qualified ski touring guides, watching the stars...and the slopes of tomorrow's skiing adventures!

On our Monashee Traverse ski touring expedition, we'll be skiing between three and six miles per day, with an elevation change of up to 4000 feet, carrying packs weighing 20 to 25 pounds - enough for your sleeping gear, tent and personal clothes. Heli Canada Adventures flies the food directly to the camps we'll be skiing to, helpfully lightening our loads.

This superb Heli Canada Adventures backcountry ski touring expedition is geared to the physically fit, experienced ski-mountaineer: you should be comfortable skiing blue runs. And with the ski touring expedition limited to 10 people, early booking is highly recommended.
