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. |
