A High-Precision Winter Escape in British Columbia
This is an elevated Rockies winter built around one objective: world-class snow with zero friction. You’ll base yourselves at Bighorn Lodge in Revelstoke, perfectly positioned for private helicopter access into the Selkirk Mountains, plus a full day at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Expect expert guiding, thoughtful pacing, and comfort that lands exactly when you need it.
At EscapeXperts®, your planning/design fee is translated into real deliverables: a discovery session, curated lodge + guiding options, iteration rounds to refine your ski days and recovery time, and a final itinerary with checklists—plus support for changes as details evolve.

Revelstoke: Arrival at Bighorn Lodge and a Smooth Start
Arrive in Revelstoke and settle straight into Bighorn Lodge, a mountain hideaway where the details feel effortless. After a chauffeur-driven transfer, you’ll be welcomed with a champagne toast and a relaxed orientation—spaces to unwind, places to gather, and the kind of warmth that makes winter feel like a luxury.
Tonight is about switching off: firelight, a proper meal, and a good night’s sleep before the first lift-off.
Selkirk Mountains: Private Heli-Ski Days, Cooked Lunches, and Big Terrain
Early starts pay off here. Step outside and your helicopter is ready—lifting you into the wild sweep of the Selkirk Mountains for a full day of heli-skiing. Your guide shapes each run to your group’s style, from steep-and-deep lines to more scenic routes that let you drink in the scale of the Rockies.
Midday, lunch is prepared right out on the mountain, keeping the day moving without sacrificing comfort. You’ll spend afternoons chasing powder across glaciers, high alpine bowls, and tree-lined stashes—then fly back to Bighorn Lodge for a welcome that feels like a ritual.
Powder days, perfectly orchestrated
Revelstoke Mountain Resort: A Vertical-Descent Day on the “In-Bounds” Side
After heli days, you’ll shift gears for a classic resort day at Revelstoke Mountain Resort—the kind of place that proves “in-bounds” can still feel epic. With your private guide, you’ll focus on the terrain that fits your energy: powder bowls, playful tree runs, and those long, satisfying pistes that make you feel the full drop from top to base.
When the mountain closes, your evening opens: time in the bar and poolroom, then the outdoor hot tub with views over the Columbia River and the Monashee Mountains.
Mount Mackenzie: Snow Cat Backcountry and a Cinematic Farewell
On day five, the adventure turns even more off-grid. A Snow Cat truck becomes your transport as you climb Mount Mackenzie and drop into pristine, untracked runs through bowls and forests. Your guide will also help tailor your final ski day—then your private helicopter whisks you out once more to a dream powder peak for a proper send-off.
Back at Bighorn Lodge, the final evening is designed to land softly: chef-prepared dinner, then drinks and popcorn in the private cinema as you watch your edited heli-ski highlight reel—an unforgettable way to close eight nights in the Rockies.
