E LE VE N SKIING

Discover the world’s most iconic ski destinations with Eleven®.

Eleven Skiing is redefining the idea of the perfect powder day. From the coastal mountains of the Arctic Circle and the alpine peaks of the Alps and Patagonia to our very own backcountry mecca in the Rockies, we’ve toured the world for the most sought-after ski regions, then staked our claim on the snow-stashed slopes that have yet to be discovered. Intricately customized to outdo your wildest expectations, your Eleven experience not only brings you to the best of the backcountry, but also delivers a fully equipped lodging experience so that you can ski, après, and sleep in true Eleven style.

In each remote destination, delicious cuisine and wellappointed accommodations are combined with expert local guides who take you exactly where you want to go—whether it be mellow side-country trails or daring descents down unnamed peaks. Guests of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to join in on the fun and improve their skills with our guides’ tactful instruction. At the heart of each experience is local culture, so guests can expect end-of-day touches like hand-foraged Génépi liqueur in a historic French mountain hut, Pisco Sours and traditional barbecued meats under the Patagonian night sky, and Icelandic fish served in a Viking-style dining room.

Eleven’s headquarters in Crested Butte, Colorado set the standard for our global portfolio, which is defined by unprecedented adventures set in striking landscapes, real connections with down-to-earth guides, and thoroughly personalized experiences that are simply impossible to duplicate.

WHY SKI WITH ELEVEN

Custom-Tailored, Small-Group Adventures

We believe that your trip should be about you. When you ski with us, your days are personalized to your small group’s skill levels and preferences, with no stale itineraries or fixed formulas. Whether you are a hard-charging ripper who wants to chase powder all day, are simply looking to get off the grid and practice your turns, or you’ve come as part of a group with varying ability levels, we’re here to ensure that each of you experiences your idea of the perfect powder paradise.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Locations

Eleven Skiing takes you to incredibly distinct destinations that deliver some of the best skiing and snowpack in the world while promising a strict no-crowd, no-lines experience. Much of our terrain is untouched and unvisited by others, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see anyone out on the slopes besides your group and your guides. From our 1,000+ acres of exclusive terrain in Irwin, Colorado to the limitless acreage in our pioneering region of Patagonia, “remote” defines your experience all the way from summit to suite.

‘Best Day Ever’ Policy

We’ve spent a great deal of time perfecting the ski experiences, but we don’t stop there. It’s not just about bagging a first descent—it’s about celebrating it with a gourmet mountainside lunch surrounded by best friends. It’s about swapping stories with your family in a geothermally heated pool beneath the Northern Lights, then enjoying a hand-crafted nightcap together in an exquisite Nordic lodge. We believe the connections that our guests foster among themselves and with the outdoors are the most valuable commodities in the world, and based on how often we hear, “That was the best day ever,” we think you agree.

ELEVEN GUIDE TEAM

“We hear it over and over again from guests—‘It’s the guides who truly make our experience. They don’t just know what they’re doing, they love what they’re doing.’”

By blending their keen ability to assess your goals and styles with their expert knowledge of the terrain, safety protocols, and skiing techniques, our guides deliver highly personalized days designed to grow your abilities, exceed your expectations, and seamlessly integrate your time on the snow into the overall Eleven experience.

With such an extensive amount of incredible descents to choose from, our guides will seek out untouched runs perfect for your individual group, no matter if you’re intermediate cruisers or hard-charging powder hounds.

With the arid desert climate of the Okanagan to the west and the ancient rainforests of the Monashees to the east, two distinct systems collide to create ideal opportunities for deep snow with moderate winter temperatures.

SKIING Q+A What are the snow conditions and weather like at Kingfisher Heli?

The Kingfisher terrain sits in the interior of the province, which provides us with the perfect mix of continental air temperatures and coastal moisture influences for ideal snow quality and quantity. Our annual snowfall averages 60 feet of light, fluffy powder over the course of the season. Temperatures in the winter months usually stay between 23 and 14°F (-5 and -10°C).

How would you describe the terrain?

Expect boundless pillow lines, perfectly spaced old-growth cedar forests, and wide-open bowls. Our expert Guide Team will create the perfect ski itinerary for your group, so no matter how you choose to approach the terrain, you’ll experience untouched lines with no one else in sight.

How many runs should we expect to ski each day?

We typically ski an average of 10 to 14 runs in a day, depending on group size, weather conditions, and skier ability levels. Our runs average 2,400 vertical feet, and our longest run tops out at a whopping 4,500 vertical feet.

Is heli-skiing safe?

We make your safety and peace of mind our first priority. By providing you with industry-leading safety gear, undergoing rigorous protocols aligned with Canada’s safety standards, and staffing our operation with experts with significant experience and training credentials, we continuously put your safety above all else. We’re equipped with seasoned pilots, allmountain monitoring, and the most advanced equipment available. We also intentionally keep our group sizes small, which allows us to emphasize personalized safety attention and an exceptional guest-to-guide ratio.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Here’s an idea of what your time at Revelstoke Lodge might look like, though your itinerary is likely to vary based on your customized specifications and trip length.

An avalanche safety training, a warm welcome, and a tasty dinner alongside the guides will kick off your adventure with us in British Columbia. One of the many highlights of this ski experience will be exploring the Valhallas, where deep river valleys, large subalpine lakes, and numerous mountains with castellated peaks will keep your skis busy all day. Because this is the

newest zone in the tenure, guests will have the opportunity to seek out never-before-skied runs and “claim it and name it,” making a mark on the terrain forever.

The Pinnacles come next, where favorites of guests and guides alike, such as “Bucket List” and “Sin City,” speak for themselves. The Cusson Zone has some amazing tree skiing and wide-open bowls, while the

Whatshan Zone has alpine chutes and rugged peaks. The grand finale is the Central Monashees, where you’ll make turns through old-growth cedar forests with giant, perfectly spaced trees in the “Sugar Zone.” Each day, in-field lunches are provided so that guests can focus on skiing, and après and dinner are served back at the lodge, about a 10-minute flight from the closest terrain.

SKIING Q+A

What is a snowcat? What’s special about Eleven’s snowcats?

A snowcat is an enclosed vehicle used to drive up and down the mountain so that you can access untouched terrain for the best possible skiing conditions. Our snowcats are custom built with your comfort in mind—think leather seats, flat screen TVs, heat, sound systems, and large windows.

Where is Irwin, Colorado? How do we get there?

Irwin is located 12 miles west of Crested Butte. Conditions permitting, the snowcat will pick you up at the front door of Scarp Ridge Lodge or Sopris House and take you on a 45-minute ride through the wilderness to Irwin.

Does Eleven have a home base at Irwin? Where do we have lunch?

We have two charming on-mountain chalets at Irwin, where your group will put on your ski boots, have lunch, and enjoy après. You’re also welcome to

hang out at the cabins throughout the day if you want to take a break or lounge by the fire if you’re a nonskier along for the ride.

How much snow does Irwin get each year?

Irwin is famous for its cold-smoke powder—and lots of it. The area receives an average of 450 inches of snow each year.

How would you describe the terrain at Irwin?

Irwin offers a variety of offpiste terrain. Think open alpine bowls, steep narrow chutes, wide untouched hillsides, and tight treeskiing terrain. While we find our terrain is best suited for intermediate to expert skiers, our guides are wellversed in working with children and skiers of varying abilities.

TYPES OF SKIING

CAT SKIING

Located about 12 miles from the town of Crested Butte in Irwin, Colorado, Eleven’s cat skiing operation is uniquely situated to typically get hit the quickest and hardest by storms moving across the Great Basin. At an average of 450 inches of snow per season over 1,000 skiable acres, get ready for some seriously deep powder, untracked lines, and a captivating backcountry cabin for après and warming breaks.

BACKCOUNTRY SKIING

The trophy of Crested Butte’s natural playground is the backcountry. Terrain options are endless, from navigating low-angle, open glades to summiting challenging peaks and accessing steep faces, couloirs, and tight trees. Our guides will set the perfect skin track while pacing you and increasing your backcountry knowledge.

RESORT SKIING

The resort’s terrain is well suited for all levels of experience, so warm up on some mellow groomers and then take a turn on the infamous steeps. If you’re a first-timer or bringing the kids, the resort’s ski school is one of the best in the country. It’s also the perfect place to get your ski legs back in gear before heading up to Irwin to cat ski or hitting the backcountry with a touring setup.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Here’s an idea of what your time at Scarp Ridge Lodge or Sopris House might look like, though your itinerary is likely to vary based on your customized specifications and trip length.

When you arrive, we’ll start by fitting you in your gear, briefing you for the upcoming days, and then jumping into the fun with a private cocktail party for you and your guests. It’s a popular choice to warm up on your first day at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, where extensive terrain and high-speed lifts make you feel like no time has passed since your last ski day. Our outpost at the base of the resort, primarily intended for Scarp Ridge Lodge guests, serves as a perfect meeting

spot to refuel with snacks and a midday lunch.

The following days, we’ll get into the backcountry. Chef-prepared breakfasts with eggs to order and a variety of local ingredients kickstart the day before you load up in our customized cat. After a ride like no other to the top of Irwin, deep powder and completely private use of the terrain make for a backcountry day straight out of your dreams. Throughout your stay, dive into

other adventures like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing, or indulge in a spa treatment followed by in-house après served by the stately fireplace. By nightfall, the hot tub is the most popular spot on property. Whether you choose to add a chef-prepared dinner served at our quaint dining table or go out on the town to partake in Crested Butte’s local scene, your time with us will be filled with unforgettable memories both on and off the mountain.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCLUSIVE SKI EXPERIENCES IN THE WORLD.

ELEVEN DEPLAR FARM

TROLL PENINSULA, ICELAND

Award-winning accommodations delivering sea-to-summit heli-skiing with extended daylight.

EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

Skiing in Iceland is one of those experiences that makes a frequent appearance on bucket lists—and for good reason. Long descents over the North Atlantic Ocean are punctuated by never-ending sunsets. Heli-assisted ascents leading to wide, open bowls and limitless terrain ignite new exploration in even the most seasoned of skiers. Long daylight hours allow us to choose the best time of day to ski given the weather and snow conditions. Early season and stormy periods equal powder skiing in a maritime climate, while long, sunny days transition the snow into perfect corn skiing.

Believe it or not, skiing is just the start of your Icelandic adventure. Sea kayaking in the fjords, riding the famed Icelandic horses, whale watching, surfing, soaking in hot springs, and exploring the unique volcanic terrain of the world’s youngest landmass are also on tap. Add in the fact that Deplar Farm is an award-winning Icelandic icon delivering round-the-clock flairs of unexpected style, service, and indulgence, and it’s no wonder that it’s a bucket list trip for skiers and non-skiers alike.

SEASON

SKIING Q+A

What is skiing in Iceland known for?

Heli-skiing on the Troll Peninsula is known not only for its beautiful rolling descents and steep couloirs leading all the way to the ocean, but also for its sunshine. The land of the midnight sun offers some of the most extended daylight hours on earth, giving intrepid skiers more time to rack up vertical. And thanks to a diversity of terrain, tackling untracked heli-ski descents on Iceland’s Arctic maritime snowpack is for the aggressive skier and the smooth cruiser alike. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the summit-tosea panorama surrounding you while skiing will take your breath away.

What is the terrain like in Iceland? How are the snow conditions?

With over 1,500 square miles of skiable terrain, we have a wide variety of options—think wide

open bowls, steep couloirs, and long runs from mountain peaks to the ocean shore. Iceland has a maritime snowpack, meaning that the snow conditions are very stable. You can expect a variety of conditions: sometimes spring-like, including smooth, buttery slopes and corn snow, and at other times, fresh powder.

Do you need to be an expert skier to heli-ski at Deplar Farm?

The vast terrain in Iceland means we have the flexibility to choose runs that are appropriate for your skill level. We recommend that guests be strong intermediate skiers to best enjoy the experience, and for you experts out there, don’t worry—there are plenty of challenging slopes for you to rip down. For those who prefer not to heli-ski, a plethora of additional adventures await: try fat biking, cross-country skiing, whale watching, horseback riding, or hiking.

When is the best time to heli-ski in Iceland?

Our season runs between mid-March to early June, which offers the most ideal combination of good snow, safe conditions, and longer daylight.

How much flight time and how many runs can we expect?

Each hour of flight time equates to about 8–10 runs averaging 2,500–3,500 feet of vertical. While the weather can sometimes inhibit us from flying, our variety of downday adventures will keep your cup full, and our guides’ ultimate goal is to ensure you get your fill of safe, incredible ski time.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Here’s an idea of what your time at Deplar Farm might look like, though your itinerary is likely to vary based on your customized specifications and trip length.

The first thing you’ll do when you arrive at Deplar Farm is explore the property on a welcome tour, which we can almost guarantee will exceed your wildest expectations. Next, get your ski gear fitted with your guides, who will then brief you on the trip plan. It’s never a bad idea to kick off your trip with a soak in our mystical outdoor pool, which boasts geothermally heated water and a swim-up bar.

Before each day of skiing, indulge in a chef-prepared breakfast concocted specially to fuel you for your big day. We’ll fly you to a variety

of warm-up runs so that you can get a feel for the terrain before we start zigzagging through the fjords and valleys with unfettered views of the cobalt blue North Atlantic Ocean. On-snow lunches will keep your battery charged so that you can keep shredding, while special lunches at our intimate outpost Ghost Farm make for a unique adventure. Another day, you’ll head straight to the heart of the Troll Peninsula, where the peaks are tall and the slopes are sprinkled with pocket glaciers. Back at the lodge, you’ll have the

opportunity to discover a new sense of wellness with our i-sopod flotation tanks and cutting-edge spa treatments.

Each evening, gourmet dinners prepared with local treasures from the neighboring land and sea delight your senses and re-energize your body before you hunker down for a luxurious night’s sleep. The last day, you’ll have the unique opportunity to ski big, bold runs and technical chutes all the way to the airport’s tarmac, where you switch from heli to fixed wing and depart the Troll Peninsula.

SKIING Q+A

What’s the difference between the Heli-Ski Experience and the Winter Experience?

Our bespoke Heli-Ski Experience is the epitome of epic, big mountain skiing in a private group setting. Itineraries revolve purely around heli-skiing, making it a perfect choice for adventurous skiers who can’t get enough of skiing big lines in the Italian Alps.

The Winter Experience is a choose-your-own-adventure-style experience that achieves versatility by offering a multitude of activity options. Each day, choose between world-famous resort skiing or exploring the area on cross-country skis or snowshoes. If ski-touring is more your style, our IFMGAcertified Guide Team will take you to legendary off-piste runs with steep and deep lines that you can ski straight to the chalet door.

How do we access the off-piste runs? Is this suitable for all skier types?

Ski lifts provide easy-access backcountry routes, and our highly trained guides will find the perfect off-piste runs for your ability levels. These legendary runs promise endless fresh lines down steep powder fields. This terrain has “best day ever” potential written all over it.

What does on-piste skiing mean?

Simply put, ‘piste’ means ski trail. There are endless trails and ski lifts, routes, restaurants, and multiple ski resort connections in the valley. The chalets are surrounded by seven world-class ski resorts, all 30 minutes or less away.

TYPES OF SKIING HELI-SKIING

Chalet Pelerin and Chalet Hibou are located near three different Italian heli-ski bases that access more than 40 descents averaging 1,000 meters. A rarity in Europe, our heli-ski operation allows guests to lodge in the finest of French accommodations while enjoying privately guided heli-skiing just across the border filled with 360º views, cold smoke powder, and wide open runs. The vertical relief is giant, snaking through high-alpine terrain, tree runs, and finally to the valley bottom.

BACKCOUNTRY SKIING

Le Miroir is an off-piste skiing paradise. Take advantage of ski lifts to easily access backcountry routes. Wind through the magic forests of Sainte-Foy ski resort and shred huge runs along the glacier in Tignes, or simply enjoy a fun descent in the Lost Valley in Val d’Isère, which is perfect for off-piste beginner skiing. The nearby Vanoise National Park offers access to many expert runs as well.

SKIING Q+A

Do you need to be an expert skier to heli-ski at Rio Palena?

Rio Palena Lodge’s terrain is so expansive and diverse that anyone confident on skis who’s comfortable exploring in a helicopter will thrive. Mellow, rolling terrain suits younger and newer skiers, while more seasoned skiers can rip down steeps that are frequently positioned right next to the easier terrain. As such, the heli-ski experience here is fantastic for families with varying degrees of experience and confidence. Of course, our access to extreme terrain is also extensive, beckoning serious skiers who seek to explore a truly wild region that very few have skied before.

What is the terrain like in Rio Palena?

The lodge is surrounded by the towering, snow-covered peaks of the Andes Mountains. Steep couloirs will get even the most experienced skier’s adrenaline pumping, while

powder-covered glaciers offer more approachable terrain for less ambitious skiers in your group. Skiing in this part of the world is truly unforgettable, and our guides are just the gurus to show you around.

If we want to take a day off or have non-skiers in our group, what else can we do?

One of the most unique aspects of Rio Palena Lodge’s heli-ski season is that the lower country around the lodge is typically dry this time of year. These summery conditions generally allow for easy access to waterfall hikes, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and stand-up paddleboarding. If you’re looking for a bit of downtime, the lodge offers the ultimate in refined amenities, delivering a tranquil sequence of fireside reading time, relaxation in the hot tubs and saunas, and view-laden après on the outdoor decks.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Here’s an idea of what your time at Rio Palena Lodge might look like, though your itinerary is likely to vary based on your customized specifications and trip length.

Upon arriving at Rio Palena Lodge, you’ll enjoy afternoon après, an itinerary briefing from your guides, and a tour of the property so you can make yourself at home before settling in for the evening. Morning departure times are based on a combination of weather safety protocols and your preferences. A chef-prepared breakfast will fuel you for the day ahead, which typically consists of a 10-minute heli-ride to the nearby

landing zones, followed by a day’s worth of lapping unlimited terrain.

In-field lunches are a popular choice so that you can keep charging, and as the end of the day nears, you can look forward to returning to fine cuts of local beef paired with Chilean wine. A dip in the hot tub and a cocktail are the perfect way to celebrate an epic day on the mountain before you turn into your exquisite suite for a long night’s rest.

SKIING Q+A

What makes New

Zealand

such an epic heli-skiing destination?

Particularly if you’re used to skiing the Northern Hemisphere, New Zealand offers incredible “summer” skiing that’s renowned for its diversity of exotic features, scenic landscapes, and remote terrain accessible only by helicopter. Depending on the aspect, you’ll find fantastic conditions including powder and corn, and ski vertical up to 1200 meters. Heli-skiing at Cedar Lodge promises a totally customizable, small-group experience that delivers the best of it all!

Is heli-skiing in New Zealand for everyone?

One of the benefits of heli-skiing and heli-boarding in New Zealand is that you don’t have to be a hardcore skier or snowboarder to enjoy it. The variety of terrain we can access, combined with our attention to personalizing the experience to your skill level, allows skiers of all types to ski confidently and safely.

What happens if there is inclement weather?

While our goal is to get you out skiing as much as you want, safety is our first priority, as inclement weather does occur here in the land of the long white cloud. When low visibility and strong winds deter us from flying, there’s a plethora of additional adventures you can enjoy. The weather in the valley around the lodge is more temperate than in the high country, so these activities are often just as fun as the skiing.
