En 1996, los socios fundadores George Rosset, Franz Fux, Mike Watling y Geoff Straight empezaron con los intentos de explorar las desconocidas cadenas montañosas del Norte de la Columbia Británica en Canadá haciendo primeros descensos en lo que se convertiría en Last Frontier Heliskiing.
Esta pasión por explorar y por la aventura la llevamos en nuestro ADN. Todo lo que hacemos en Last Frontier gira en torno de las montañas y a nuestro viaje de perseguir nieve.
En este lugar salvaje arriba en las montañas, lejos del mundanal ruido, de la rutina y repetición, nuestra familia está dedicada al oficio de producir una experiencia de heli-esquí especial para nuestros huéspedes porque apenas hay nada igual.
Bell 2 Lodge fue descubierto en el corazón de las Montañas Skeena en el Norte de la Columbia Británica. Los socios fundadores George Rosset, Franz Fux, Mike Watling y Geoff Straight están fascinados del potencial del heli-esquí y empiezan a explorar la zona.
Last Frontier inicia una temporada de 8 semanas de heli-esquí de exploración utilizando un solo helicóptero A-Star con base en Bell 2 Lodge. Teton Gravity Research (TGR) aprovechan la oportunidad de visitar esta parte del mundo todavía por descubrir. Apareciendo en su película Re: “Session”.
Una completa reconstrucción empezó para transformar Bell 2 Lodge en un pueblecito de heliski.
Ripley Creek nace en la pequeña comunidad de Stewart, enfrente de Hyder, Alaska. Los Jefes de Guías George Feitzinger y Andre Ike exploran la zona estableciendo una nueva área de heli-esquí al completo, sondeando a fondo las Montañas Costeras.
Last Frontier se convierte en uno de los primeros operadores de la industria del heli-esquí en adoptar el uso obligatorio de “Airbags” para avalanchas para todos los huéspedes.
Un tercer helicóptero es añadido en Bell 2 Lodge, permitiendo mayor flexibilidad para grupos privados. La capacidad se eleva a 34 huéspedes.
Se completan las renovaciones para modernizar las zonas comunes en Bell 2 Lodge. El comedor y la recepción / tienda de regalos ven un buen cambio de cara.
Los socios fundadores George Rosset y Franz Fux venden su parte en Last Frontier Heliskiing. Franz continua como guía y George es sucedido por Mike Watling en la posición de Socio Director.
Last Frontier Heliskiing celebra su 20º aniversario.
Los grupos de 5 eran geniales, pero los grupos de 4 son todavía mejor. Podemos cargar más fuel en el helicóptero y así poder adentrarnos en nuestra enorme área de heli-esquí. Ahora tenemos 1 guía por cada 4 huéspedes en vez de 5 - también mejor.
El Bar, la zona de entretenimiento y la Sala de TV y música ven una completa remodelación en Bell 2 Lodge. Al Bar en Ripley Creek también se le lava la cara.
Una revisión completa de nuestro edificio de sauna que alberga nuestras salas de masajes, clases de estiramiento y sauna seca.
Nuestras habitaciones renovadas cuentan con baños nuevos, pisos de baldosas con calefacción, aislamiento acústico adicional e iluminación completamente renovada. Las queridas estufas de leña de esteatita permanecen. Nuestra cafetería también sufrió una transformación total.

In this hands-on role, you’ll work closely with the Ski Technician to support the daily logistics of our heliskiing program—including guest transportation, and equipment maintenance and coordination.
