Snow and Weather Pantheon Helisports operational base is located on the Eastern (lee) side of the Coast Mountains, which means that the weather here is in the west-to-east transition from the wet Coast Mountains to the dry interior plateau. As storms from the Pacific dissipate, the dry areas of the plateau near the lodge are the first to clear. Consequently, while coastal areas are experiencing rain, the Pantheon Helisports area may have blue skies. The guests at PH usually lift off in clear weather and fly towards the mountains and clouds, rather than the opposite; this means plenty of snowfall, but better weather for flying. The weather of the Pantheon / Niut / Waddington Ranges is considered Central Coast and Chilcotin Plateau. As moisture laden storm fronts roll in from the Pacific, they rise up the Mount Waddington divide precipitating a snowpack of averaging 6 metres. As the air mass descends eastwards over the heliskiing area, the snowfall is drier and colder.
