Good news for Americans… the Canadian Dollar has weakened considerably against the greenback. Back in July it cost $1.06 USD for $1 CAD dollar, but at the moment Americans only need $0.94-$0.96 for $1 CAD, which means a trip to Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is now roughly 10% CHEAPER than if you paid in July! If the upcoming powder-filled La Niña winter isn’t enough to convince you to book, how about all that powder AND around $1,100 off on a 6 day trip compared to back in July?! THIS IS THE WINTER!!

At Great Canadian we are blessed with awesome heliskiing conditions, though we are unable to control them. One thing we can control is our standard of service.  Being a successful, family-owned business enables us to provide a very personalised experience that you might not find at a large, corporate organisation. Speaking to our guests, we had many requests for a sauna.

So we have listen and this winter we will have one!! It’s a Barrel Sauna made of Tight Knot Western Red Cedar, similar to the one in the photos. It will be 16 feet long (12 foot sauna, 4 foot changing room) and 8 feet in diameter. It can comfortably accommodate 8 people at any one time. It will be heated by a 10kw Heater with Digital Controls. There will be 2 ‘Port Hole’ windows in the rear of the barrel which might provide light at the start of the season, but will no doubt be covered as the snow starts piling up again this winter!  The sauna will be located just steps away from the lodge, roughly halfway between the lodge and our on-site helipads.

Covershot!! This AWESOME photo taken by Jordan Manley from last winter of Daryl Treadway has made the front cover of top Norwegian magazine Fri Flyt.
