I visited Skeena Heliskiing in February 2023, and it was an amazing experience! The Skeena family gives you an extraordinary vacation at Bear Claw lodge you late will forget!
When visiting Skeena Heliskiing you fly over the beautiful nature of British Columbia and ski down the amazing mountains with some of the most experienced guides in the world. The guides adapts the routes to the degree of difficulty to your ski-experience and ability levels as groups and as individuals. The dynamics between the guides are really good and they cooperate with each other to give you a nice group-experience. The guides gives you consistently guidelines in the terms of safety so that you can ride some seriously sick mountains, while remaining the safety.
As well as the guides, the pilots are very experienced and very professional. They give you good instructions how to behave around and inside the helikopter, which results in you feeling safe. The coordination and cooperation between the pilots and the guides are really good and the logistics are impressive. It's very little to none waiting time, sometimes the helikopter is waiting for you. The pilots provides you safety as well as giving you a nice time in the air!
The Lodge is a beautiful, spacious and friendly place with a staff that you will fall in love with. The staff is very helpful and provides you everything you need. With offers like yoga, massage, jacuzzi and snowmobiling you definitely are going to have a great time at the lodge in case of down days. The kitchen staff makes delicious food and are very adaptable for allergies and specifications.
This was my first time visiting Skeena Heliskiing, but certainly not my last! The atmosphere you get on this vacation is really special. This is something you want to come back for every year!
Skeena Heliskiing definitely gets 5 stars from me and I truly...

Well where do I start…? Oh, I know, how about this was one of the best weeks of my life!!
Thank you to the Skeena Heliskiing and Bear Claw Lodge team for the most fantastic experience. Of course, we sign up for the heliskiing, which is phenomenal - limitless terrain, accessiblity in most weather conditions (the team got us out 6/6 days!) and lovely snow conditions; but it’s all the other details that set Skeena apart from the rest.
The highly skilled, and super fun guides make each run exciting and enjoyable yet you feel safe at all times; as do the pilots who are ubering you up and down the most stunning terrain.
The lodge is beautifully constructed, grand but cozy; the team are professional yet friendly and not too formal; the variety of apres was super fun; if you have enough energy there is cross country skiing, an iceskating rink, a sauna (more my style), massage, and indoor games around the unique & comfortable bar lounge.
The kitchen crew kept us fueled up with 5 star meals, for 6 full days of amazing skiing, snowboarding and laughs. I’d say put Skeena on your bucket list, but you’ll absolutely want to do this more than once!!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Skeena / Bearclaw family, we can’t wait to return for more...

What a week! I’ve spent a week at the bear claw lodge with my sister and it’s been incredible! The skiing: above anything I could have imagined. The terrain is huge, and that gives access to any kind of landscapes, steepness, and snow! The lodge: remote yet relatively easy to reach, in a stunning location, with all the amenities you would like to have (sauna, bathtub). The people: possibly what makes this place special. From the chefs, the guides, the lodge’s staff, they really make you feel like at home. The environment is really easy going, but the quality of the service is really top notch When you arrive and you find yourself surrounded by repeating customers it feels a bit weird, but after 1 week you finally understand why people come back again and again… and you want to become part...
