Heliski on the West Kootenays of British Columbia!

Nestled in the Selkirk Mountains of BC at an elevation of 5,400 feet, Snowwater Heli Skiing is set on 21 private acres of pure mountain serenity.

With a maximum of 12 guests at a time, Snowwater offers a truly unique experience. Whether you’re looking to unwind and relax, celebrate with friends, or create unforgettable family memories, they will go above and beyond to meet every need and ensure your stay is as enjoyable as it is memorable.

Mountains & Terrains

Snowwater Heli Skiing operates in the West Kootenays of British Columbia, a region renowned for its exceptional snow quality. Its unmatched consistency, abundant quantity, and feather-light texture make it highly prized by powder enthusiasts from around the globe.

The West Kootenays offer exceptional terrain, characterized by rugged mountains, deep valleys, and a mix of tree-lined slopes and expansive alpine bowls. The Selkirk and Monashee ranges dominate the landscape, providing varied terrain that caters to both intermediate and advanced skiers. Heliskiers can explore pristine powder on long descents, with glaciated peaks and untouched snowfields that stretch for miles. The dense forests at lower elevations provide shelter on stormy days, while higher elevations offer wide, open runs with breathtaking views.

The Package

Heli-skiing in the Kootenays with Snowwater Heli Skiing means skiing all day, every day, enjoying endless runs of untouched powder in every direction. With an annual snowfall of 40 feet and some of the most varied and exhilarating terrain on the planet, it’s an all-you-can-eat powder feast.

Snowwater Heli Skiing operates with just 3 groups of 4 guests, each guided by a private, professional guide. By limiting the service to only 12 guests at a time, Snowwater provides an unparalleled, personalized experience. Each guest is equipped with an airbag pack, shovel, probe, Mammut digital transceiver, personal radio, and comprehensive training on how to use it.

Snowwater flies in the incredible B3E-AStar helicopter, which allows you to land in breathtaking, remote locations. Your experience includes Unlimited Vertical: thereโ€™s no cap on how much powder you can enjoy each day!

Why We Love Snowwater Heli Skiing

Unlimited powder buffet: light, bottomless, legendary!

Exclusive, intimate, personalized experience!

Lodging

The lodge and Evergreen Spa sit on 21 private acres in the stunning Bonnington Range of the Selkirk Mountains, surrounded by forest beneath Snowwater Peak. Handcrafted from larch and fir timbers, the lodge features cosy rooms with heated floors. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to provide both luxury and a true connection to the natural surroundings. On the top floor of the Evergreen Spa, Snowwater offers premium king suites with breathtaking views of the Valhalla Mountains.

The Evergreen Spa features a stainless steel hot tub and cold plunge with an outdoor fireplace, steam room, Swedish sauna, yoga/fitness studio, board room, retail space, massage services, and high-speed internet.

Guests enjoy three gourmet meals daily, along with a variety of sweet and savory snacks. The talented chefs craft innovative cuisine using impeccably sourced organic ingredients to create a fresh, flavorful dining experience!

Snowcat Backup

Given the unpredictable nature of weather and snow conditions during a heliski trip, Snowwater Heli Skiing is proud to offer a backup snowcat program to ensure you still get to ski or ride, even when the weather isnโ€™t in your favor.

If it’s snowing too heavily to fly or the clouds have settled in, you simply jump into the snowcat and keep skiing right in the backyard, just minutes from the lodge. Once the skies clear, itโ€™s easy to switch back to the helicopter. The snowcat departs right from the doorstep, providing access to steep, gladed tree runs close to home.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
