Big Mountain Vertical

More Powder, More Turns And More Bang For Your Buck

You asked for it and here it is. The Big Mountain Vertical program is all about maximizing the amount of skiing and boarding per dollar spent. We have stripped out the fluff and focused on the goods.

Trip Highlights

• The best priced small group heli ski program in Canada
• Maximum two groups of five people per helicopter
• Flexible dates and lengths of stay
• Ski on your arrival and departure days thereby maximizing your vacation time
• Single occupancy available at modest additional cost

This is the best priced small format heli skiing in Canada and we encourage you to make your own comparisons. How do we keep the price down? Certainly the ski and boarding quality has not been compromised, but its a fair question. The answer is that this is our "lost leader", we want to introduce you to heli skiing in Bella Coola and are not making any profit on this program.

We have retained all the key elements that make our original Tweedsmuir Lodge Heliskiing programs so special. Ski groups are small and cohesive and we are flying the extremly versatile A-star helicopters. This format is a proven winner, delivering a superior skiing experience.  Where we have improved on the format, is that there will be only two loads sharing one helicopter instead of the standard three. This means the heli will be there waiting for you when you get to the bottom of the run and you will be back on top just as fast as our pilots can fly.

Another advantage, the package boasts flexible dates & durations. No need to commit to a week if you do not have the time. Pick from 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 night stays. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for clients wanting to combine a heli ski trip with a warm up visit to Whistler, or for people living in the Pacific Northwest south to California who can pop up for a long weekend.

Accommodation is at Bella Coola's Mountain Lodge. This is a centrally located motel style establishment only minutes from the heli port. Meals are made and served on the premises specifically for you and your group to ensure you are fueled up to ski and ride as long as there is daylight.

The Big Mountain Vertical program adds up to the best value for your dollar of any heli skiing in the world. Yes there may be less expensive programs available in places like Russia, or places with equally good skiing, but no other program offers all the advantages and attributes of our Big Mountain Vertical program. Afterall, you will be skiing in British Columbia, the birth place of heli skiing, and you can expect reliable snowfalls, tree skiing options during bad weather, and of course the world's most comprehensive safety standards as set and mandated by Heli Cat Canada.

It's all about the vert, and you'll be sure to find like minded keeners in your heli. Come by yourself or with friends for 3, 4, 5 days or more. We've got a lot of lines to shred this winter, hopefully you'll be here with us.

It is recommend to book early as there are a limit of 10 seats per week.
