A four-year run built on reliability
NEH operates in British Columbia’s Skeena Mountains, where deep northern snow and vast terrain come together with small-group heli-skiing and heli snowboarding. When helicopters can’t safely fly, NEH has cat skiing readily available as a backup — an exceedingly rare offering in this industry. The operation spans over 833,571 wild acres of alpine bowls, glaciers and old-growth tree skiing.
The NEH experience
Guests choose from three lodge formats designed for different group styles and expectations:
- Yellow Cedar Lodge: four groups of up to 4 guests share two helicopters and stay in a rustic mountain lodge.
- Mountain Lodge: two groups of five guests sharing one helicopter at a fly-in contemporary chalet.
- Skeena Spey Private: one group, one helicopter, and a fully custom schedule in luxurious, private lodging with a dedicated culinary team, massage therapist, and concierge.
Across all experiences, guests enjoy NEH’s signature combination of culinary excellence, reliable snowpack, and cat-ski backup with unlimited vertical access.
“Northern Escape was one of the best experiences of my life.”
— Janelle Yip, Pro Skier
