Stellar Heliskiing

I went with my father and a friend just for the day and we all have experience cat-skiing and heli-skiing with other places. They do not even compare to the amazing experience we had with Stellar! Booking was super easy, with tons of communication from Patti in the office. We stayed out of town but will definitely consider the Kaslo Hotel next time as it looked really nice in the dining room where we met in the morning. The morning orientation was extremely smooth and after we were set up with our gear we split off with our guides to do avalanche training. We had done training like this twice before but felt like our guide Kina offered a very thorough explanation that added much more to detail and solid advice. Being guided by Kina was an absolute dream. She was very communicative throughout the day, giving clear instruction when needed and offering great advice on what features we could find on the run. Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed her as a guide. She was extremely fun and very personable and speak multiple languages, an absolute legend! We were blessed with great conditions, other than some visibility issues in the afternoon. The variety of terrain was keeping things fresh all day and I really appreciated our guide kept us updated on where we were heading and why, what to look out for. I felt she matched the runs we took to our group's skill level perfectly. When we stopped for lunch I was not expecting such a gourmet spread! Choice of sandwich/wrap, hot broth (still dreaming about that) or tea, a small package of local charcuterie and some small desserts/cookies. Exactly what you need to refuel. Really enjoyed meeting the pilot Ian after lunch, another legend! We were able to sneak in three more runs after lunch luckily and unfortunately had to turn in after that due to weather/visibility. My only regret is that we only booked one day! We will absolutely be back and I would recommend Stellar to any skier looking for some life-changing experiences up on the mountain!
