Read our Review of Silvertip Heliskiing.

Silvertip Heliskiing Lodge is unrivaled for remoteness, sandwiched between Wells Gray Provincial Park and Cariboo Mountains Provincial Park.   The double A-frame lodge is located at the end of the most remote arm of Quesnel, the deepest fjord lake in the world, where it reaches deep into the Cariboo mountains from the western side of the range.

Silvertip Heli Skiing Lodging and Dining Description

Silvertip Heliskiing Lodge is located on the shores of Quesnel Lake.  The lodge is rustic, simple, and comfortable.  Next to the lodge are a private cabin (with two beds and a private bathroom) and the spa building. As a ski destination, Silvertip is unrivaled for remoteness.

Silvertip Heliskiing Terrain

The Cariboos are vast and diverse.  Tremendous high alpine heli-skiing as well as epic tree skiing.

The northern Cariboos are where moisture from Pacific storms intersect with cold air masses of northern BC.  The result is dry, light powder!  The Cariboos are the most northerly mountain sub-range of the Columbia Mountains.

Glaciated alpine mountains, open terrain, naturally spaced trees, and of course, reliable Canadian champagne powder is what makes the Cariboo Mountains the best skiing in the world.
