Presently there are some rare mid-season packages with spaces still available. However, lately we have seen an increase in the amount of interest and bookings for this time of year, and we expect it to be that way heading into our winter operating season. So now would be the time to reserve your space during times that in the past have been booked a year in advance. Contact the office at anytime to find out specific availability. Of note is that once you ski or board with us you are then the first to be entitled to the same dates for the next winter.
As a small operator, EPH also has the flexibility to customize your package, especially for groups of 4 or more. Increasingly guests are combining their heliski package with some local resort or cat skiing as a warm up. If this is something of interest to you and your group, please give our office a call and we can assist you in organizing a combination trip.
This season our guides will be taking both video and still photographs documenting each of our guests’ days in the mountains skiing and snowboarding. Each trip will then be posted in the ‘Ski Stories’ section of our website, including a summary and highlights of the trip complete with photos and video footage. It will be a great way for potential guests to read and see what a trip with Eagle Pass Heliskiing entails, as well a chance for “the stars” of particular trips to pass on their story to friends and family. Make sure to follow along as the season progresses and the snow continues to pile up.

New Skis and Bindings
New this year we will have skis from 4FRNT. They are stable, wide powder-specific skis that will be sure to enhance your heliski experience.
“4FRNT Skis was founded in 2002 by a group of athletes looking to make skis that push the progression of backcountry, park and pipe skiing. As one of the first small new-school ski companies to break into the mainstream of the ski industry, 4FRNT has never strayed from their initial goals. Pro skiers Vincent Dorion, Niklas Karlstrom, Steele Spence and Matt Sterbenz own 4FRNT, and these guys also develop and test the skis.” – backcountry.com
Leaders In Safety
Eagle Pass Heliskiing continues to be a leader in safety. Every client carries a lightweight SnowPulse avalanche airbag , shovel, transceiver, probe, and hand held radio. We strive to exceed the industry standard for safety in the mountains while providing an exceptional ski experience.
Eagle Pass Announces Select Availability for Day Heliskiing
The focus of Eagle Pass Heliskiing has always been to deliver high quality, all-inclusive multi-day heliski packages. With all of the attention Revelstoke Mountain Resort has been receiving, there has been an increased demand to offer more options in regards to day heliskiing for visitors staying in Revelstoke.

Both options will depend on availability, and the day heliskiing options as well as all of our packages require that you be a strong to intermediate skier/boarder.
Pre-booked day skiing is available for $1375 which includes a guarantee of 4,000 meters (or just over 13,000 feet). Standby Day Skiing is available for $975 and includes the same guarantee in meters as above. Please contact our office for additional details and availability.
