About
Eleven Experience is an adventure travel Operator, founded in 2011 and based in Crested Butte, Colorado, that pairs small, design-focused private lodges with expert-guided adventures in remote mountain destinations. Winter is the core of what they do: heliskiing in British Columbia, Iceland, and the Alps, cat skiing on their own private terrain outside Crested Butte, and guided off-piste skiing, ski touring, and resort skiing from two chalets in the French Alps. In British Columbia, Eleven Revelstoke Lodge is the base for heliskiing on a 300,000-acre tenure across the Monashee and Selkirk ranges, which Eleven says averages about 700 inches of snow a year. Programs are built around private helicopters: groups fly their own A-Star B3 with dedicated guides and a guaranteed minimum of daily flight time, at guest-to-guide ratios of 3:2 or 4:1, and some configurations offer unlimited vertical. The season runs mid-December through March. In northern Iceland, Eleven Deplar Farm flies guests straight from its own helipads onto 1.8 million acres of the Troll Peninsula, about 30 miles south of the Arctic Circle, with a heliski season that runs from the end of February into early June and the long days of the midnight sun. Every stay at Deplar during heliski season includes heliskiing. For U.S. skiers, Eleven's flagship Scarp Ridge Lodge and neighboring Sopris House in downtown Crested Butte connect directly to Irwin, Eleven's 1,000+ acre private cat-skiing terrain 13 miles west of town, which averages 450+ inches of snow a year. Conditions permitting, the snowcat picks guests up at the lodge's front door. In France, Chalet Hibou and Chalet Pelerin sit in the Tarentaise Valley hamlet of Le Miroir, surrounded by seven ski resorts including Val d'Isère and Tignes, with locally based IFMGA-certified guides and Eleven's heliskiing operation just across the border in Italy. What ties it all together is the lodge model. Eleven's properties are small, typically 4 to 13 rooms, and most can be booked by the room or bought out entirely. Stays come with chef-prepared meals, saunas, hot tubs, and wellness amenities, and an Experience Team that plans each itinerary before arrival. Outside of winter, Eleven also runs fly-fishing lodges in Chilean Patagonia and on New Zealand's South Island, summer adventures from several of their ski lodges, and Bahama House on Harbour Island in The Bahamas.
