The Monashees present perhaps the most challenging skiing of any of our British Columbia locations and are suitable only for experienced heli-skiers who normally ski in the advanced groups of other areas. Between 60 and 90 percent of Monashees skiing is in a mature, naturally well-spaced forest. Along with some of the best tree skiing on earth, the Monashees is also admired for its long, consistently steep-pitched runs.
Monashees also accommodates private groups with a maximum of four skiers throughout the season. Operating independently from the regular programs, these private groups enjoy unlimited skiing thanks to their private helicopter and two guides.
