About trip

Imagine cruising along the ocean in a 138 ft catamaran equipped with a heli-pad, surrounded by picturesque fjords and towering glacial capped mountains, en-route to some of the most remote and exhilarating skiing in North America.

Gather up to 8 of your closest friends and venture into the heart of an extraordinary area

where the world’s most interconnected fjord system, the world’s largest intact temperate

rainforest and British Columbia’s largest mountains converge.

Packages aboard MV Cascadia are completely customizable and our team of

knowledgeable experienced designers will help you plan the perfect trip. This program is

designed for heli-skiing mavericks who are looking to explore uncharted areas along the

Pacific coast where no one has ever skied before. Each program features a predetermined

number of helicopter hours to be used throughout the ski program. The amount of flying

will vary based on the group size, the length of the ski day, the weather and snow

conditions, and the objectives of the group. Groups that like to explore will fly more.

*Additional helicopter hours can be purchased at a rate of CAD $4,780 per hour in order to

accomplish specific objectives or to help facilitate inbound and outbound travel logistics.
