The sauna, the hot tub, the library, the massage therapy… there’s so much to enjoy at the lodge, you might think of it as a “holiday within a holiday".
Given the Rockies and the Cariboos in our backyard, we enjoy long days of breathtaking heliskiing and heli boarding. After hours, we like to unwind with an open-air hot tub and a little relaxation in the sauna. On the other hand, some prefer to just put their feet up, and enjoy some private time with a book in front of the fire.
Evening activities can vary from a game of pool, to a beverage or two at the bar. Some look to the massage therapist to work on their tired muscles. Others put on elaborate group games and activities which can prove great fun! Regardless of your preference, we have many options for wrapping up your day of heli-skiing in the Rockies.
While we love the skiing, our guests tell us consistently that the hospitality, atmosphere of the lodge, and the spirit of the guests is what keeps them coming back year after year. One visitor even noted that with all the fun to be had, you might almost forget you came here to ski!


Many a heli-skier and heliboarder have returned to our lodge after some deep powder, in search of a beer and a soak in the hot tub. Something about a cold beer coupled with hot water results in the perfect environment for recounting the fun of the day!

Perhaps the Finns got a few things right (mostly we’re thinking: vodka and saunas). Well, who are we to defy northern logic? Our sauna has effectively soothed many a weary heli-skier. A sauna session is not only a social affair, but can reduce chronic pain and minimize stress as well.

After pushing yourself on the mountain, our on-staff massage therapist is ready to work on your tired muscles. (Many visitors claim it’s what keeps their muscles working for the week.) Please note: these sessions fill up fast, so book early!

After dinner, guests can join their family and friends at our nicely stocked bar for a drink or two. This is a relaxing time to share your stories (and photos) from the day, while getting to know your fellow skiers, as well as the hosts and staff of Crescent Spur Heli-Skiing.

Given the workout to be had on the mountain, we’re surprised anyone would want to use the gym. For those who do, we have an exercise room equipped with a bike, treadmill, a rowing and elliptical machine, and yoga mats. Bring your own music using the ipod docking station if you wish.

Our guests are rather “creative” when it comes to having fun, with some even making up their own elaborate games. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the various evenings’ activities; it’s a great way to build lifelong bonds and share laughs!
