Looking out the window during the flight from Vancouver to Terrace I was awestruck by the mountainous landscape below me. The sun was starting to set over the pacific and as the plane flew north, the size of the mountains and density of peaks increased with each passing minute. Despite having a book and ipod with me, I spent the entire flight sipping a Kokanee, staring out the window, and picking out perfect lines which I promised myself to one day come back and ski. But those lines would have to wait, as I was on my way to Northern Escape Heli-Skiing.
When we started to make our final descent into Terrace I was shocked at how quick the flight had gone by, two hours had felt like fifteen minutes. Northern Escape is remote, but accessible. During the winter there are multiple daily flights from Vancouver so you can get there within a few hours from almost anywhere in North America. The Northern Escape shuttle was waiting for us when we landed, and after a quick thirty minute drive we arrived at the lodge and were greeted with champagne and snacks.
