Backcountry Skiing in the Yukon Territory

Yukon Territory backcountry skiing and heli skiing operators and adventure companies provide winter enthusiasts an opportunity to ski mountain ranges located in some of the most remote regions of Canada.

Backcountry skiing and heli skiing adventures vary on many fronts like accommodations, transportation and ski destination. Some manage their ski operations from remote lodges while others from communities and airports.

Many backcountry ski operators manage lodges or have made arrangements with lodges located in the remote wilderness regions of the Yukon Territory. The location of the backcountry ski lodge determines the type of transportation required to reach the ski destination.

Some lodges in the Yukon are located close enough to ski destinations that snowshoes or snowmobiles are used for transportation. Some ski destinations are so remote that they require a helicopter to reach the summits and bowls.

Backcountry ski operators provide the expertise and knowledge of the local mountains. Backcountry skiing is only enjoyed when skiing safely. Book with operators who are well trained in avalanche and recovery skills plus first aid.
