The single largest heliski tenure in the world
Small groups of 4 per helicopter

Terrain for every appetite; steep trees, wide open glaciers, long descents
A: Most New Zealand travellers fly into Vancouver, then connect by domestic flight to Terrace or Smithers in Northern British Columbia. From there, guests take a ground transfer of around 4 hours to the lodge area, and AMPED can organise the flights, overnight stops and transfer timing so the journey works smoothly from New Zealand.
A: Guests stay at one of Last Frontier’s remote lodge bases in Northern British Columbia, with accommodation, meals, lodge facilities and heli-ski operations built around the full backcountry experience. AMPED can help you choose the right lodge style depending on whether you want a more remote mountain setting, a small historic town feel, or the best fit for your ability level and group.
A: Last Frontier is a heli-skiing and heli-boarding experience, not a traditional ski resort with chairlifts, groomed runs and village skiing. Guests access remote backcountry terrain by helicopter, ski or ride with professional guides, then return to the lodge at the end of the day. AMPED recommends it for confident skiers and snowboarders looking for a true Canada powder adventure.
A: Last Frontier is not suitable for novice skiers or snowboarders. You do not need to be a professional, but you should be a strong, confident skier or rider who can handle varied snow, powder, trees, alpine terrain and full ski days. AMPED can talk through your ability, fitness and powder experience before recommending whether Last Frontier is the right fit
A: Last Frontier heli-ski packages generally include lodge accommodation, meals, professional guide services, a guaranteed amount of vertical, use of powder skis and poles or selected snowboard equipment, avalanche safety gear and organised ground transfers from Terrace or Smithers to the lodge. AMPED can explain the inclusions for each package, check what is additional, and help you compare the best option for your ability, travel dates and budget.
A: Last Frontier offers 4, 5 and 7-day heli-ski tours, with longer safari-style options available on selected dates. AMPED recommends 5 to 7 days for most New Zealand travellers, as the journey is long and a longer stay gives you more time to settle in, enjoy the terrain and maximise your Canada heli-ski experience.
A: Last Frontier is known for deep Northern British Columbia snowfall, big alpine terrain, glaciers, tree skiing and huge backcountry variety. The operation has access to 10,100 square kilometres of terrain and reports around 15 to 25 metres of annual snowfall, giving guides strong flexibility to find suitable conditions. AMPED recommends it for travellers wanting a remote, powder-focused Canada heli-ski holiday.
A: The best time depends on the style of skiing you want. December and January often bring colder snow and more tree skiing, February and March are the peak mid-season months with deep snow and more daylight, while April can deliver higher alpine glacier skiing, longer days and strong late-season conditions. AMPED can recommend the best travel window based on your ability, budget and preferred terrain.
A: Last Frontier provides professional guiding, avalanche transceivers, airbag backpacks, radios, probes and shovels, with guest training in safety equipment and helicopter procedures. Guides review snow stability and terrain choices daily, and guests must always follow guide instructions. AMPED recommends being upfront about your ability and fitness so you are matched to the most suitable programme
A: Yes, you need travel insurance that specifically covers heli-skiing or heli-boarding, including emergency medical costs, evacuation, cancellation and interruption. AMPED can organise and book suitable travel insurance for your Last Frontier heli-ski holiday, helping make sure your cover matches the style of trip before you travel.
A: Yes, AMPED can organise your full Last Frontier heli-ski holiday, including international flights from New Zealand, domestic Canada flights, pre and post-trip hotels, lodge arrangements, ground transfers and overall itinerary timing. We can also help compare lodge options, package lengths and add-on destinations so the heli-ski component fits smoothly into your wider Canada snow holiday.
A: Yes, non-skiing partners or companions may be able to stay at Last Frontier, subject to room availability and non-skier rates. This is best suited to companions who are happy relaxing in a remote mountain setting rather than expecting a traditional resort village. AMPED can check suitability and availability before you book.
A: Yes, Last Frontier can be combined with other Canada ski resorts before or after your heli-ski package. AMPED can build an itinerary around Whistler, Sun Peaks, Revelstoke, Banff, Lake Louise or other Canadian resorts, depending on your routing, dates, budget and ability level. This is a great way to balance resort skiing with a remote heli-ski adventure.
