There are two accommodation options with Last Frontier Heliskiing. At both you will be treated to a diverse
and appetising menu that will excite any palate.
The first of the two, Bell 2 Lodge is located at 1900 feet (600 meters) and was once a basic service station
for travelers on their way to Alaska and the Yukon. Bell 2 Lodge is now a modern heliski village with satellite
communication and state of the art environmental facilities. It offers the comforts of a first class hotel with a
rustic touch of the Canadian wild.
The dining room, lounge and bar act as the focal point for
skiing and snowboarding stories to be shared at the end of
a great day in the mountains. Guests are accommodated in
log chalets, located approximately 100 meters from the
lodge. All rooms have a private bathroom, fireplace, two
queen size beds or 1 king bed both with down duvets.
After a day of skiing or riding excitement on the slopes, a
Jacuzzi/hot tub and sauna are available adjacent to the
chalets, and our resident masseuse is on hand to ease
away any aches from the day.
If the conditions are unfavorable for skiing, you can strap
on a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and explore
the Bell Irving River Valley. With a little luck you may spot a
moose, wolf or other animals that frequent this area during
the winter season.

Starting in 2005, Last Frontier Heliskiing began to push the boundaries of its operation with further
exploration of the southern heliski area. We opened a base in Stewart, and now run a 9 passenger
Bell 204½ helicopter with up to 27 guests for a limited number of weeks during the the season.
We have a solid knowledge of the snow conditions and weather patterns in the area, but much is
waiting to be explored with many new runs yet to be skied and named.

The first settlers arrived in Stewart in 1896,
and it quickly grew in the early 1900s due
to mining of the mineral-rich surroundings
(gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc) until in
the 50s the population stood at almost
10,000. However, owing to a depressed
market most of the mines closed in the late
1900s, although the few that remain
open are still very productive. Stewart now
has a growing tourist industry providing
visitors with outstanding bear watching
opportunities as well as great fresh and
saltwater fishing.

The Ripley Creek Inn is home to both guests
and staff alike with meals served just across
the street at the Bitter Creek Café. All rooms
have en-suite bathrooms, queen size beds
with down duvets, telephones and TVs.
As this ski adventure can only be available to a few skiers due to the exclusive character of our operation, we ask

measures are taken and other interested guests may be turned away. Last Frontier Heliskiing is a member of the
British Columbia Helicopter and Snowcat Skiing Operators Association. This association sets strict safety
standards for operating a Helicopter and Snowcat skiing area. By skiing with Last Frontier Heliskiing Ltd. and its
sister company TLH Heliskiing Ltd. you can be assured of skiing with guides certified by the Association of

By registering for a LFH Heliskiing package you acknowledge the risks of mountainous areas in winter weather
conditions. You are aware of the fact that even a highly qualified mountain-guide is not infallible and that, under
these circumstances, he sees himself confronted with extreme situations which are not fully controllable.
Therefore, his duty will only consist in limiting the risks to a minimum. These risks are described in this sample
waiver reprinted in this brochure. Each participant will be required to sign a RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF
CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT before being allowed to ski with us. Please
refer to the sample waiver as reprinted in this brochure. All claims, irrespective of the nationality of the
participants, shall be governed in all respects by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of
British Columbia.

If a cancellation is necessary for any reason, it should be made by registered mail. If a confirmed reservation has
to be cancelled more than 90 days before the beginning of the package, LFH will retain the deposit. The deposits
for heliskiing are totally non-refundable. If a cancellation is made less than 90 days before the arrival date, the
total package payments will be retained. No cancellation fee has to be paid if the skier cancelling his package
finds himself a suitable person as his substitute to take over the contractual obligations, but only if the cancelled
space is still available.
