The North Cascades of Washington state, also known as "The American Alps,” are the most glaciated peaks in the continental U.S. Our location in the northeast corner of this range is a unique combination of longitude, latitude and altitude, giving us some of the finest snow conditions available anywhere.

Founded in 1988, North Cascade Helicopter Skiing is based out of the Freestone Inn in the Methow Valley. Within our 300,000-acre permit area on the Okanogan National Forest, we can access a vast variety of runs starting at altitudes of 7,500 to 9,000 feet and offering 1,500 to 4,000 vertical-foot drops.
