Global Appeal
Post-pandemic travellers prioritize remote, nature-led adventures and privacy-forward itineraries [1][3]. Adventure tourism is on a sharp upswing globally [5], while research highlights how social media and influencer content accelerate demand for marquee mountain experiences [7]. At the same time, heli-sports are forecast to expand steadily across Canada, Europe, APAC, and South America [8].
World’s Best Heli-Ski
NEH operates in BC’s Skeena Range, where alpine bowls, glaciers, and steep tree skiing meet small-group heli-skiing with snowcat backup. Guests can ride on storm days, including Unlimited Vertical [4].
“I … have been lucky enough to ski all over the world with heli ops, cat skiing outfits, and human-powered guides over the last twenty years. And I can honestly say: Northern Escape offers the best all-around product I’ve experienced anywhere.”
— Guest from Colorado, USA [9]
