The Story of White Saddle

White Saddle Ranch, the Pantheon Helisports base of operations, was founded by the King Family more than fourty 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 couloir), 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.
