WW IEGELE
ABOVE: A good sport in the truest sense of the term, Ross took one for the team during a Truth or Dare session with Ryan at the Wiegele
compound. Yes, that’s Ryan at the wheel of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas.
WHERE TO GO:
GETTING THERE
Mike Wiegele Heli-Skiing is located in Blue
River, B.C., with a permitted tenure of 1.5 million
acres across 1,000 peaks in the Cariboo and
Monashee mountain ranges. The most convenient
airport is in Kamloops, B.C.; Air Canada
and West Jet offer daily service from Vancouver
and Calgary. The drive to Blue River from
Kamloops takes about two-and-a-half hours;
Saturday transfers to and from Wiegele’s are
included in the rate when you book a
seven-day package. For info, visit wiegele.com.
LODGING
Wiegele’s is a full-service luxury resort with
four different types of accommodations to suit
every type of traveler. Blue River Resort offers
easiest access to the most amenities, including
the Powder Max dining room and cocktails at
the Silver Buckle Lounge. The 17-room Albreda
Lodge is ideal for private and semi-private
groups. For more intimate options, consider the
six-room log Bavarian Estate House or Eleanor
Lake Estate, a private home. No matter where
you sleep, you’ll be close to the heli pad.
