Heli-skiing & cat-skiing
Valhalla Powdercats, Canada
"Imagine a ski area 6 times the size of Whistler and Blackcomb, and a maximum of 24 people per day able to ski it – some would say heaven..."
Our expert Rupert Hatfield
Valhalla's terrain is six times the size of Whistler and Blackcomb combined, offering seasoned skiers a hearty selection of high alpine bowls, steeps, old-growth forests, and endless, untracked Kootenay powder all day long. Expect zero line ups, and the sweetest, deepest white gold you will ever have the good fortune to sink into.
