The Skeena Story
The reasons to go heli skiing are clear: deep, fresh snow on beautiful mountain peaks. Year after year, we take return guests back to fresh territory in the Skeenas. They keep coming back.
Finding New Territory for Old Friends is Easy at Skeena
The Skeena Story: We’re keen to welcome you to the Skeena family and to share our Skeena stories.
There are many … of great snow, good food, and fabulous camaraderie, and this makes our guests and friends come back year after year. Our German-speaking guests would refer to this as “gemütlichkeit”.
But good things take time, so while we get our stories ready for telling, check out the team that will look after you, learn about our partners who help make heliskiing dreams come true, or drop us a line with any questions about what is involved in booking a heli skiing trip with us. We welcome both experienced heli-skiers and people who can ski powder, but have never heliskied before. Come make your own Skeena Story!
We’d love to chat.
“Skeena Heliskiing is the place to go. Heliskiing at its best with only 12 guests, a beautiful lodge, food from the best, friendly and professional staff, and very experienced guides. There is a lot of varied terrain, from high alpine bowls and long glaciers to nice tree skiing runs. From day one, you feel at home. At the end, you want to go back.”
“Unforgettable Adventure”
“If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Canadian wilderness – Skeena Heliskiing is the perfect choice. Nestled in the remote mountains of British Columbia, Skeena offers access to some of the best, most untouched powder snow in the world. The Team at the Bear Claw Lodge stands out because of its excellent service and works hard to ensure every guest’s safety and enjoyment, making this a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It’s perfect for those seeking a thrilling experience away from the crowds. Thanks 1000 times for everything – I will returm for sure!”
“One of the Best”
“I have been to 7 different heli-ski lodges and this is one of the best, if not the best. Remote and stunningly beautiful location, managed impeccably, the food is amazing, the staff are so attentive but not too formal, safety is woven in to all the flying and skiing so you feel completely comfortable to focus on the deep powder rush of massive tenure. Skeena should be on everyone’s bucket list.”
“Ski like a God, Eat like a King”
“Thank you to the whole team for a truly amazing experience…a limitless variety of runs, expert, helpful and fun guides who also provided a few pointers on technique (which I appreciated), experienced and highly skilled pilots who worked tirelessly to find us the best landings and then of course the Bear Claw Lodge team who catered to our every whim and spoilt us rotten. This team really know what they’re doing…so if you want to ski like a god, eat like a king, relax in heavenly comfort, laugh until you’re crying with joy and experience the very best that BC has to offer… look no further than Skeena Heliskiing at Bear Claw Lodge – thank you for an amazing time. I hope to return again soon.”
“Awesome”
“That was the best experience I’ve ever had in the snow! Highly recommend to all! Great crew, great terrain, best snow and great après ski with the team! Anytime soon!”

“The Best Heli Skiing on Earth”
“I have been to Skeena heli skiing 6 times now since 2013, and it is the best place on earth. The terrain is very varies so you can get it all. The guides seem to me to be the best guides in the whole world, they are very experienced and have great focus on safety, and they adjust the pace to all levels on the group. The pilots are very experienced and very solution oriented and also gives you a good time flying. The Lodge is amazing and the staff is one of a kind. The food is top notch. All in all, the total experience is truly wonderful – that’s why I come back every season.”
“Best Experience Ever!”
“An incredible week! Thanks to all the staff in the lodge and to the guides! We will come back for the “powder”.”
