Take a Trip to the Canadian Rockies: Heli Skiing

British Columbia is known around the world as an incredible destination for skiers, but no holiday to the province would be complete without experiencing the Rockies up close and personal. Heli-skiing can give you that intimate perspective by flying you to the remote peaks of these beautiful mountains. High above the typical resort, far from the limits of a lift, a helicopter will soar to the heights of the Kootenay Rockies before dropping you off at one of the summits.

There’s no better adventure once you leave the helicopter and start you descent. Cutting tracks down the side of the mountain will be unlike any other ski trip you’ve ever taken. No one but your small group of fellow heli skiers will be on the peaks, so you don’t have to contend with crowds as you navigate you way down – which means you’ll have the freedom to gain as much speed as you can. The natural conditions of the area lend itself to flying down the mountain. This particular part of southeastern British Columbia sees perfect, snow-filled glades, steeps, and bowls – all of which are waiting for you to claim for your own.

Booking a holiday in the Kootenay Rockies is simple. British Columbia has a large volume of heli skiing operators, but not all of them can afford you exclusive access to parts of the mountains. Only boutique operators that put your experience first can offer a unique and customized experience of the Rockies. Operators like Great Canadian Heli Skiing will limit their packages to four visitors, so you never have to coordinate your stay with strangers. It’ll only be you and three of your closest friends chasing speed and vertical. Their focus on small groups is just one of the ways they create a boutique feel to such a high-octane adventure.
