Discover the
Motherlode of Powder
A vast wilderness, endless fresh tracks,
and the spirit of true adventure.
Gold Rush Heli skiing | Atlin, British Columbia
Born from Exploration.
At the turn of the century, gold fever built the town of Atlin on the shores of BC’s largest natural lake. Today, we continue that pioneering spirit—trading gold pans for powder skis.
At Gold Rush Heliskiing, we bring heliskiing back to its roots of pure exploration and escape.
Our claim is 648,000 acres of untouched terrain across the Willison and Llewellyn Glaciers and the Juneau Icefield—stretching from BC to the Yukon and the Alaska border.
Unlimited Vertical. Unlimited Adventure.
With just 8 guests in the mountains at a time and 2 nimble A-Star helicopters to move your guided group of 4 skiers out and back, it’s better than semi-private. Plus, you’ll have a wilderness playground all to yourself.
Our massive tenure—120 times larger than Vail Resort and would cover over 15% of Switzerland—guarantees fresh powder run after run. From sweeping 4,500-foot open bowls to decadent tree skiing, every day promises those rare “Eureka!” moments you’ll remember forever.
Northern Powder Perfection.
The northern climate keeps snow deep, dry, and light for longer. Gold Rush Heli Skiing’s proximity to Alaska’s coast means heavy snowfall, while BC’s interior brings blower powder and the Yukon means clear skies and sunny days.
