The holy grail of Heli and Cat skiing.
British Columbia, Canada
Vast, remote, clean, and wild. British Columbia is where mechanized skiing began. There are around 40 operators in total - Each one offering different services, machines and terrain. Skiing in BC is a peak life experience not to be missed... but how do you choose which lodge or operation is right for you?
"There is no one best place in general, it's about finding the right place for you."
Is there a difference between operators? Absolutely.
BC is huge- Bigger than the entire country of Chile...with over 10 million hectares of terrain to ski. Within that area, every snow climate and type of terrain is represented. Each operator has either predominantly one type of terrain or a mix of one or more terrain types, which we can explain in more detail during our discovery session.
Different types of snow- from West to East, South to North there are different snow climates, meaning different quality of snow and different snow amounts.
Different Heli and Cat types- The machine you choose vastly changes the type of skiing you can access and the type of experience you will get. Knowledge is power. What works for you won't work for someone else.
Different Lodges and Services- Some want remote, Some want more convenience. Access to international/regional airports and specialized offerings such as custom heli pick ups and drop offs.
