March 2026 Conditions Report
March 2026 at both lodges was the kind of month that could ruin skiing anywhere else for the rest of your life. It opened with an all-out storm siege — Bell 2 guides dubbed it “the best Groundhog Day ever” as guests woke up to fresh snow day after day, while Ripley Creek buried the tape measure under 73cm in the first week alone. When the storms briefly parted mid-month, they only revealed even more to love: cold smoke powder in the alpine, bottomless tree skiing, and legendary runs like Boom Town, Eclipse, and The Burn finally getting their moment in the spotlight. Long-time guests were calling these the best ski days of their lives, and then week after week, it kept getting better. The month is closing on a perfect note: bluebird skies, cold temps, and epic powder from ridgetop to valley bottom, with Bell 2 crews exploring all the way to the top of Delta Peak and Ripley guides navigating chest-deep trees under wicked visibility. As of March 23rd, Bell 2 has logged over 193,000 metres of vertical and 162cm of new snow, while Ripley Creek stacked 248cm of fresh and built a snowpack touching 457cm at 1,000 metres.

About Steve Rosset
Steve has been exposed to heli skiing since childhood when his father, George Rosset, founded Last Frontier Heliskiing (and before that TLH Heliskiing). It wasn’t until 2011, however, that he left a career in real estate consulting to join the Last Frontier team. With a deep-seated passion for photography and the outdoors, Steve is on a quest to broadcast Last Frontier Heliskiing to the world. When he’s not planning our next sermon, you’ll find him with his wife Priscillia and son Remy, hiking, biking or skiing, often with a camera in hand.View all posts by Steve Rosset
