Heli Skiing In Bella Coola BC, Canada

Welcome to Bella Coola Heli Sports. Our mandate has always been, and still is, to create a product designed by skiers and snowboarders for fellow skiers and snowboarders. Its all about enjoying pristine powder snow with your best friends in the most stunning terrain imaginable.

Our location is ideal for heli-skiing. We operate in a transition zone from a wetter pacific climate to a drier interior climate. The result is ample fresh snow that bonds well with the existing snowpack, creating the perfect conditions in which to ski varied and interesting terrain.

Combine this with our strict limits on group sizes, and our small and private helicopters (the ultimate high speed lifts), we have a level of operational flexibility that guarantees the most rewarding ski experience possible.

In addition, Bella Coola Heli Sports is arguably the easiest destination heli skiing operation to fly to. Less travel of course equals more time to play, and with over 10,700 sq/km (4,300 sq/m) of jaw-dropping terrain, there is a vast area to explore. From scenic fjords, all the way to the highest peak in British Columbia, the permit area is as big as the entire Swiss Alps. The difference? there are no people, no lift lines, and no tracks!

The easy part is choosing Bella Coola Heli Sports, the hard part is deciding which one of our three operations you will want to visit first. You could spoil yourself with our most exclusive helicopter skiing holiday at Tweedsmuir Park Lodge, explore unchartered terrain and claim first descents in the Pantheon Heli Ski Zone, or max your vert and fun with our Big Mountain Heli Skiing option. Then visit us again when the snow melts for genuine West-Coast wilderness Summer Adventures.

Leave your cell phones and busy life at home. Join us for the best holiday experience on the planet, heli skiing and boarding in beautiful Bella Coola, British Columbia, Canada!!
