Bell 2 Lodge
Bell 2 Lodge, once a basic service station for travellers on their way to Alaska and the Yukon, is now a modern heliski village with satellite communication. It offers the comforts of a first class hotel with a touch of the Canadian wild.
Guests are accommodated in log chalets, located approximately 100 metres from the lodge. All rooms have a private bathroom, fireplace, two queen size beds or 1 king bed and down duvets. The dining room, lounge and bar act as the focal point for skiing and snowboarding story-telling at the end of a big day in the mountains.
A hot tub and sauna are available adjacent to the chalets and the resident masseuse is on hand to ease away any aches and pains.
If the conditions are unfavorable for skiing, you can strap on a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and explore the Bell Irving River Valley. With a little luck you can spot a moose or a wolf.
Ripley Creek Inn
Starting in 2005 Last Frontier Heliskiing began to push the boundaries of its operation with exploration of the southern portion of its terrain. A base was opened in Stewart, with a 9 passenger Bell 205 helicopter stationed there to serve up to 27 guests for a limited number of weeks during the season. Although the company have a solid knowledge of the snow conditions and weather patterns in the area, much is waiting to be explored with many new runs yet to be skied and named!
Accommodation is at the Ripley Creek Inn where both guests and staff stay, meals being served just across the street at the Bitter Creek Café. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, queen size beds with down duvets, telephones and TVs.
The Ripley Creek Inn is in Stewart, a small coastal town right on the Alaska/British Columbia border.
