☐ Confirm your reservation
Contact our booking team to confirm your dates, program and deposit. We’ll provide your booking details and final payment deadline.
☐ Purchase travel insurance
Purchase our recommended travel insurance. If you arrange insurance for your trip from the provider of your choice, confirm directly with your insurer that your policy covers heli-skiing. Check emergency medical and evacuation coverage, along with trip cancellation and interruption, including any exclusions or limits.
☐ Arrange your flights to Vancouver
You arrange your travel to Vancouver—we take it from there, with our charter flight to Williams Lake and helicopter transfer to Silvertip Lodge.
Before booking your commercial flights, confirm the required arrival and departure times with our team, including whether you’ll need an overnight stay in Vancouver. If you’re joining our Calgary departure, follow the travel instructions provided for that tour. You will receive a trip itinerary upon booking with all of the included flight times.

Arriving with good ski fitness will help you enjoy your time on the mountain. If you’re unsure whether your skiing or snowboarding ability suits the program, talk to our team before booking.

☐ Review your final travel details
Before leaving home, check your itinerary, meeting location, baggage allowance and departure time. Keep our contact details handy and let us know promptly if your incoming flights change.
What to Expect at the Lodge
Your day begins with breakfast and preparation for the mountain. Your guides will plan the skiing around weather, snow conditions and the group, with lunch arranged to suit the day’s program.
Back at the lodge, settle in for après-ski snacks and drinks, relax in the hot tub or sauna, or book a massage. Dinner brings everyone together to share stories and get ready for another day in the Cariboos.
Staying Connected
Wi-Fi is available in the main lodge. Given our remote location, please plan to download anything essential before travelling and check with our team if you need to work during your stay.
Bringing Non-Skiing Guests?
A private lodge booking can also welcome friends and family who don’t ski. Snowshoeing, time at the spa and quiet days overlooking Quesnel Lake offer another way to experience Silvertip.
Talk to us before booking so we can confirm activities and arrangements for your group.
