Selkirk Mountain Heliport

The identifier was likely de-registered for administrative reasons. The physical heliport never ceased operations. Such changes often occur when a private operator updates its registration, consolidates operations, or when the identifier is simply retired from public databases like the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS). There is no evidence of closure due to economic failure, accidents, or military conversion.

The physical site is not closed; it is a fully active and modern heliport. It serves as the main base of operations for Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, located at the village base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort. The facility includes multiple helipads, a guest lodge, and maintenance hangars. It operates year-round, supporting heli-skiing and heli-boarding in the winter and heli-hiking, heli-sightseeing, and mountaineering access in the summer.

The heliport at this location has significant historical importance as the primary operational base for Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, one of the pioneering and most renowned heli-skiing companies in the world, founded in 1978. When active under the CA-0646 identifier, and continuing to the present day, the heliport handled thousands of flights for tourism. Its main function was, and still is, to transport skiers and snowboarders into the vast backcountry of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains. It has been a critical piece of infrastructure in establishing Revelstoke as a global hub for adventure tourism.

The concept of 'reopening' is not applicable because the heliport never closed. It continues to operate without the public CA-0646 identifier. There are no known plans or needs to reinstate the specific 'CA-0646' identifier, as the facility functions as a private heliport supporting the commercial operations of Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing.
