What is Unique/Why Us?

GCH Pioneered the boutique experience. For 21 years we have been delivering the small group heli-skiing experience with powerful Astar helicopters in BC interior’s ‘prime powder real estate’ with class. We have this program dialed and it has been described by our guests as seamless. Your travel time is 330 km from the Calgary Airport to our door and the Unlimited Vertical doesn’t hurt either!
