At Selkirk Tangiers Helicopter Skiing (STHS), guests, friends and employees are celebrating 30 years of powder skiing and snowboarding. As a fourth generation Swiss mountain guide, STHS founder Peter Schlunegger introduced helicopter skiing to the Revelstoke area and the Selkirk Mountains in 1978. Thirty years later, his vision has become a successful reality.

The tradition of guiding in the Selkirk Mountains runs deep. In 1899, Karl Schlunegger, the great-grandfather of Peter, became one of the first guides to work from the historic Glacier House lodge in Rogers Pass, in what would become Glacier National Park.  

It is an exciting time to join us in Revelstoke. Selkirk Tangiers was purchased in 2007 by Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR). This new development allows us to combine the amazing future potential of the resort with STHS’s unrivaled terrain. Guests will be provided with access to both world class helicopter skiing/boarding and North America’s most exciting new ski resort.  

Construction is underway on Mount Mackenzie, the home of RMR. Years of resort planning and development experience from across the globe are contributing to the creation of what will be a spectacular four season resort.

Nestled on the edge of the Selkirk Range in the heart of the Columbia Mountains, RMR will deliver the highest vertical descent in North America – 1829m (6000 ft). The ski in/ski out community at the base will harmoniously compliment its setting with condominiums, hotels, private residences, a signature golf course, as well as hiking and mountain biking trails. The Village Heli-Centre will provide access to the finest untracked powder the backcountry has to offer. Join us as we continue to evolve.
