Wade Bashaw - Head Guide, Big Mountain Heli Skiing

Wade is a laid back ski fanatic who started his guiding career heliskiing in Whistler in 1994. He then worked as a cat skiing guide

in the Monashees for about 7 years. He also guided as a sub-contractor for many other heli ski companies around Whistler and throughout BC. Mountains, snow and elated skiers are his reality: just another day at the office !       

In 2004, Wade became the recipient of the ACMG Centennial Scholarship, a prize awarded to promising young members. He became the Head Guide for our Big Mountain Heliskiing operation in 2009.
This year he and his family have made the decision to move to Australia to experience a new lifestyle and be close to relatives. Wade will be back to work for Bella Coola Heli Sports during the heli skiing season. Let’s say this is quite the commute to work!
