Million Air November-December 2018

Bighorn Revelstoke BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

As Canada is the birthplace of heli-skiing, you’ll need a lodge with its own helipad to explore all that gloriously fluffy powder. Bighorn has just that, in its backyard no less, as well as snowcat, backcountry and lift skiing. It’s been named as the best chalet in the world four times by the World Ski Awards, and it’s easy to see why. Located near the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, its views of the Monashee Mountains and mighty Columbia River are epic, and each of the eight bedrooms has a balcony for you to enjoy the scenery across the valley. Or, if you want to breathe in that fresh mountain air, take to the large outdoor hot tub with a cocktail from the fully stocked open spirit bar. All wellness needs are taken care of too, as there is an indoor current swimming pool, a fully equipped gym and massage rooms. The triple-height great room with roaring log fire is supremely welcoming and a divine place for an aperitif before heading into the dining room for a gourmet dinner prepared by your award-winning chef, paired with your choice of fine wine. Off piste The dedicated lodge manager can create a custom itinerary for your stay and give you an experience of a lifetime. In the past, they’ve sculpted ice bars in the garden and arranged ice hockey on top of a mountain. For those who aren’t so interested in heli-skiing, a dog-sleigh ride can take you to the top of a mountain where a private gourmet picnic awaits.
