Arctic Heli Skiing is proud to partner with the legendary Canadian Arctic Explorers of the Weber family, who have been the leaders in adventure tourism and expeditions in the great Canadian Arctic regions for over 25 years. The east coast of Baffin Island, best known for some of the highest free standing granite walls on earth, has been a coveted and much sought after prize for big wall climbers from around the globe for decades. The famous opening scene of the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me", where stunt man Rick Sylvester BASE jumps off the spectacular Mt Asgard on skis is perhaps the best known image from Baffin Island. Perhaps lesser known is that the first ascent of Mt. Asgard in 1953 was made by Hans Weber, the grandfather of Tessum and Nansen Weber who have now pioneered this most Northerly heli ski area on the planet.

With endless deep fjords, glaciers to the waters edge and spectacular granite peaks, Baffin Island is hands down one of the worlds most spectacular places to visit for skiing, but skiing is just a part of the overall experience of visiting the Arctic. No less spectacular or interesting is the Inuit culture and traditions carried out by the people of Clyde River and the abundant wildlife such as polar bears and Arctic foxes that call this harsh environment home.

Be among the first to heliski above 70 degrees North in the rugged Arctic paradise of Baffin Island. The Weber Arctic team has built one of the worlds most remote luxury Base Camps, where guests will stay in individual dome dwellings and a private chef will pamper you with mouth watering feasts after long spectacular days on the never before skied summits of Baffin Island. This is truly a once in a lifetime Arctic Heli Skiing experience!

Baffin Island Heliskiing

Day 1

Arriving into the coastal Inuit community of Clyde River, ride your snowmobile for the journey into the Baffin mountains. Leaving Clyde River, you’ll make your way into the deep fiords of Baffin Island, slowly leaving the Arctic Ocean and heading into glaciated terrain. Breathtaking views of steep granite walls and tumbling glaciers truly showcase the awesome landscapes of Baffin Island. Arriving at Basecamp Baffin and be greeted by the Weber Arctic team. An introduction to Heli-skiing routes and a polar safety briefing follows an in-house dinner prepared by Weber Arctic’s private chef.

Day 2-6

Departure by helicopter from Basecamp Baffin flying due west towards the height of the Arctic Cordillera. Land atop Mount Wordie, the longest run in the area, where you ski 4km of arctic powder to sea level. A large granite wall towers the face of Mount Wordie, and below a tumbling glacial tongue extends to the horizon. Baffin holds a massive selection of terrain to choose from; long flowing glaciers for intermediate skiers, to steeper terrain such as couloirs and larger glaciers for advanced skiers. The helicopter waits at the bottom of the run, ready to take you to your next slope of untouched powder.

Day 7

After breakfast, your group will board the flight for the return to home, reminiscing about the past week and gorgeous collection of peaks, glaciers, stunning views and truly unspoiled landscapes you have enjoyed.
