Owners

Mark and Regina Aubrey have had a long career in the ski industry. Regina’s began in 1975 when she took a leave of absence from teaching school in Calgary to spend a winter helping out at a friends snow cat skiing operation near Nelson, BC. That was the end of her teaching career – she moved full time to BC and guided with the operation for 10 years. Mark came as a guest in 1981 to the same operation and returned the following year as an employee. As co-workers, they realized their common love for the mountains and powder skiing. Recognizing the potential for world-class heli skiing in Mark’s home community of Crescent Spur, BC, they purchased the family farm there and began building their lodge and exploring the surrounding mountains. The first heli-ski guests were welcomed in 1992 – the upcoming 2009 season will mark 17 years of Crescent Spur Heli-Skiing!

While Mark continues to guide full time, Regina manages the lodge and business side. They live in Crescent Spur year round with their daughter Bryna.
