I've been there many times and hope to keep going. Fantastic help skiing, friendly guides and staff, good food, nice rooms. Everything is excellent. When you get blue skies you are really in heaven.
My special thanks to all the Bell 2 team, they are always great.More
OK all of you wannabe Heli Skiers. We've skied Last Frontier since 2001. Our most recent trip was the week of February 20th. As with the rest of the American West it was a lean year for snow. But I will tell you that this location still had the hidden pockets of great snow and that is attributed to the special people at Last Frontier. This was trip number eleven. So yes, we have skied other Heli operations including Alaska. Last Frontier tops all. I can count on one hand in all of our years there the total down days for weather. The best for hospitality, food, lodging,organization, guides, terrain, snowpack,and most important, Safety, Safety!!! Eleven trips in fifteen years says it all.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your extensive feedback. We are blessed to be located on one of the World's greatest snowbelts, and to have access to outstanding treeskiing terrain for when storms roll in. No shortage of powder here, even on a below average year. We hope to see you again soon.
Have a wonderful ski season.

I had a great time. Last Frontier was awesome. Even with the low snow pack early this winter I couldn't have been happier. I've been to other heli operations in prior years. I found, for snowboarding, Last Frontier's program with their small helicopters was a good fit. There was no long traverse/run outs like on past trips to other outfits. The food was great. Lodging was comfortable. The staff was awesome.
Will I go back? Definitely! I actually bought a credit for a future year in advance.
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your review. The A-star is the real deal when it comes to flying small groups of skiers up and down the mountains. You will have to come back now that we are switching to groups of 4!
Have a great ski season,
- Aurelien
Organisation:
- good but not enough efficient concerning the security. No briefing from the guide
- good for medium skier level. If you are a good or really good skier you ll ski on too easy ride and lost your time
-wifi in the hotel really slow speed
- the place is great for skiing a lot of possibilities. Great mountains ...
So come with a group of the same ski level.if not you ll be frustrated.
Dear Stefkirghzizie,
Thanks for taking the time to review your trip with us this season. Much appreciated.
Safety has always been and will always be our number one priority. As we are now debriefing the season, we will of course follow up with our Ops team regarding your concerns. We’re very proud of the consistency in our guiding department and know the guides strive to provide our guests with a great Heli-Skiing/Boarding experience within the possibilities of what the snow and weather conditions allow them to do. Our guides are also encouraged to share as much information as possible with guests.
While we make every effort to match our guests’ abilities for grouping so everyone can enjoy a cohesive level and pace of skiing, it of course highly depends on the skiers booked during YOUR week.
As you have identified already, coming with a group of 5 would be an option to eliminate grouping concerns. We also offer Private Tours that would give you the ultimate flexibility in skiing (ski as much or as little as you wish every day, as fast or as slow as you desire). Another program geared towards expert skiers is our Rippin at Ripley Tour.
We would be happy to hear from you again and discuss your trip or any further comments with you.
Last Frontier Heli is easily one of the best heli ski operations in the world. They have some of the best terrain, certainly the best snow, super experienced guides, and some of the nicest people (employees and guest) you could ever hope to meet. The accommodations are equally amazing. Log cabins with wood burning stoves for added ambiance. I also have to mention that I got one of the best massages there. I guess you could say that I'm one extremely satisfied repeat customer. I can't wait to go back this coming January!
Thanks for the kudos Jeff. Although we can't guarantee the best snow all the time, we do get a lot of it! Hope to see you again in the near future.
Powder, powder and more powder. Amazing 5 star luxury resort in the most beautiful wilderness surroundings. Highly recommend it. We'd stayed over Christmas and managed to get 10-15 drops most days in about 3-4m of virgin snow. Food was excellent, cosy bar, great company and a hot tub - you can't go wrong!
Thanks for leaving this little note. Quite a magical place to stay over the holidays indeed. Hope to see you back soon!
