The Ranch At Pantheon Helisports you'll be staying at Whitesaddle Ranch, a historic working guest and cattle ranch in the heart of the Coast Range wilderness. Mountain climbers and movie stars have been returning here for more than 20 years to experience true adventure and warm, personalized Canadian hospitality. Lodge Before and after the skiing, guests relax in the lodge, a hand-hewn log building with a giant rock fireplace and comfortable seating areas upstairs and a bar and lounge area downstairs. Accomodations All rooms are single occupancy and have great views of the surrounding Coast peaks. They are clean and warm but basic. All have new furnishings, cotton sheets and down comforters. Communications The ranch has regular landline telephones and satellite internet. The lodge has a wireless router system if you feel the need to bring your laptop and talk to those at home. Cuisine At Pantheon Helisports the food is very fresh, with much of it coming right from the ranch. All the bread and pastries are baked fresh each day. Lunches are packed to order in the morning and eaten in the field. Our chefs accommodate all different kinds of diets. The Story of White Saddle White Saddle Ranch, the Pantheon Helisports base of operations, was founded by the King Family more than thirty years ago as the aviation base for the Coast Mountains between Whistler and Bella Coola, BC. Named for nearby White Saddle Peak (which dominates the horizon and inspires dreams of skiing the central coulior), the ranch sits just on the eastern edge of the coast mountains, the last outpost of civilization before the ruggedness of the Pantheon Range takes over. Over the years, due to its’ natural beauty, proximity to famous mountains such as Mt. Waddington, and popularity with adventure seekers, White Saddle Ranch has evolved into the lodging and aviation provider of choice for the mountaineers, skiers and climbers that frequent the area. Hundreds of non-heliskiing guests come to the ranch each year to use it as a base camp for adventurous expeditions to the amazing alpine objectives only available by using the White Saddle aircraft. Consequently, occasionally these two groups share the resources of the ranch. Although each group has its' own private areas, interactions between the groups are encouraged as they are always memorable and fun. When the heliskiers and the mountaineers have an opportunity to share stories, friendships are formed and each group has the opportunity to inspire and support the other. White Saddle Ranch has become known to adventure seekers as a great place to stay whether climbing Mt. Waddington, skiing the magnificent Pantheon Range, or just doing a little sightseeing.
