“The apex of the apex: Revelstoke, the heliski capital of the world. Bighorn Revelstoke...the ultimate heli house party. Vast living spaces, state-of-the-art screening room, indoor current pool, Downton Abbey-ish service and dazzling meals.”

“The world’s most exclusive ski chalet...No effort, or expense has been spared. The arrival of Bighorn last season brought an unprecedented level of luxury to Revelstoke; it also marked the start of a new trend in the industry – the private heliski lodge.”

“You could hole up for a week at Bighorn – a superindulgent, sprawling eight-suite lodge and never set foot in a binding. With the gourmet fare, views of the Columbia River and bounty of body wraps, facials and massages, it’s easy to forget you’re steps away from some of Canada’s best lift, cat, heli and backcountry skiing.”

“A heliskier's haven raises the bar. We landed atop one peak and shuffled out of the helicopter, which soon took off in a flurry of powder. Then in the quiet, with heavenlike views all around, we started down our first run. At the bottom of the run, I checked my watch; less than an hour earlier I was still in bed.”

“The King of heli lodges. The ultimate thrill is the private helipad from which you can access the most awesome heliski terrain. The resort itself also has some of the best lift-accessed skiing in North America. Come here to ski hard and play hard.”

“Let’s say for a moment that you wanted the ultimate ski experience. Money is no object. It may sound like the stuff of royal fantasy but two ripping British skiers just opened a private ski chalet outside Revelstoke this winter that aims to take the ultimate ski experience to a whole new level.”

“Revelstoke, Canada: the greatest ski resort on Earth. It’s appropriate, but highly unlikely that the best resort in the world should house the top luxury chalet either side of the Atlantic. You can eat and ski well in Whistler, but Revelstoke, with Bighorn, is on another scale.”
