April 2026 Conditions Report
April Ski Report
The 2026 heliski season is officially in the books, but truth be told, winter’s still hanging on up here. We could easily still be skiing.
The week of March 30 felt more like February than April with Bell 2 guides hunting cold, sheltered-north powder and racking up 41,200m of vertical. Ripley Creek opened the door to bluebird classics and new terrain on a 428cm deep treeline base.
The season finale offered up a little bit of everything at Bell 2, from storm days in the trees to sunshine and a deep powder sendoff on the final day. Ripley skied every single day of the tour and capped it all off with a trek to the stunning Frank Mackie Icefield.
A huge thanks to everyone that visited this year. If you’re looking to join next winter, reach out here for a list of dates.
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
