Ski trips don’t get more exciting than this. After a thrilling helicopter ride to the summit of a snowy peak in British Columbia's Skeena Range, click on your skis (or strap on your snowboard) and carve turns down its powdery flanks, through alpine bowls, immense glaciers and steep couloirs.

Untouched, shin-deep snow and superb backcountry terrain make this a top choice for advanced skiers and snowboarders looking for the trip of a lifetime.
