Why Stellar
Unrivalled snow, terrain and good times.
If you are looking for epic terrain and fantastic snow, both of which we have in buckets, Stellar Heliskiing is for you. We pride ourselves on our small groups and fun and friendly people. Our lodge, The Kaslo Hotel, is the perfect place to unwind after a day of shredding, enjoy a meal or a thoughtfully-crafted cocktail. In fact, you’ll be able to see the runs you’re skiing in the Purcells while you’re drinking a beer on the patio. Emerse yourself in the beauty and our deep love of mountain culture.
Enjoy our world famous kootenay powder.
Seeing over 18 meters (60ft) of snowfall each year, the snow we ski is some of the deepest and driest in the world. With terrain rising to over 3,000 meters, our guests are able to ski/ride open bowls, high alpine peaks, and magnificent old growth forests that are suited for everyone, whether you are a first time backcountry skier or expert powder rider. All of this terrain is just a short helicopter ride away!

Explore the TerrainMy wife and I do a lot of back country skiing with various Cat and Heli operations. We decide to try Stellar and in one word, it was FANTASTIC! All the safety protocols were in place to make us feel comfortable and the staff did an amazing job. The guides and team were top notch and made us feel absolutely safe at every turn… literally. The booking, the hotel, and everything else was amazing. You’ll LOVE it.

Kaslo, BC, Canada
Kaslo is on the western shoreline of Kootenay Lake and surrounded by the mighty Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. The Kootenays are known for their laid back vibe, friendly people, and an uncontainable love of mountain culture. You can’t help but be relaxed – and stoked – when you’re spending time here. It feels genuine, and far removed from the glitzy hype of many resort towns. The Kaslo Hotel is the heart of town and offers incredible views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
