What is Unique/Why Us?	The experience at Crescent Spur is one that is "*Way Beyond Skiing*". Crescent Spur Heli-Skiing owners and operators, Mark and Regina Aubrey celebrated their 17th year of operation in 2009. Their success revolves around a lot of hard work, but also an amazing ski tenure that covers 1500 square miles and reaches into two mountain ranges – the famous Rocky and Cariboo Mountains. Only a 1-hour flight from Vancouver to the Prince George Airport, followed by a 1.75-hour coach ride to the lodge, Crescent Spur Heli-Skiing is one of the most accessible heli-ski operations in the province. Their program is a favorite with heli-skiers as it is limited to only 20 skiers per week, two groups of ten with two guides per group. With as many staff as skiers, the level of service is hard to match – their 70% return rate proves their efforts do not go unnoticed!
