Our friend Beat Steiner, who runs Bella Coola Helisports, has a very cool offer. Heliski a half-day on each end of your trip, so you can get an extra day! This is especially cool for maximizing a short trip. And, not only do you get to heliski/heliboard on both travel days, Beat picks up your airfare from Vancouver and back!

Bella Coola squeezes in as much skiing as they can!

Bella Coola Helisports is the original and most experienced operator in Bella Coola offers 1.5 million acres of the most sought after heliskiing and boarding on the planet. This is now one of the largest tenures in the world.

They have one of the easiest accesses of any heliskiing destination in BC. Their goal is to have you heliskiing/heliboarding on the day of your arrival and the day of your departure.

So their 3-day package gives you 4 possible days of heliskiing/boarding. That is because you fly up one morning, ski the afternoon; ski three full days; then on the last day you ski the morning and fly out in the afternoon. 4-day package gives you 5 possible heli-skiing days, 5-day gives you 6 days…..you get the idea. You can also read our summary at BCHS.

And, Beat will include the airfare from Vancouver to Bella Coola and return!

Bella Coola has two options, (not including their Private Pantheon, a unique setting which is ideal for a group of 8):

Big Mountain program is a no frills, attractively priced choice (Put together a group of 4 and you can save money and rack up the vertical).

Tweedsmuir Lodge is the classic heli experience.

Don’t Waste a Second – Heliski with Bella Coola Heliskiing / Heliboarding

Heli Ski Combined with Resort Skiing and/or Catskiing

We are getting lots of requests from customers who want to heli ski combined with resort skiing and/or cat skiing.

Many are looking to try helicopter skiing or heliboarding for the first time while on a resort ski trip.  It’s easy to add a day or two at Whistler, Snowbird/Alta, Telluride, Sun Valley or just about any resort in SE British Columbia.  It’s roughly $1000.

Some want to do some heliskiing without spending $6K+.  By combining heliskiing with catskiing or resort skiing, you can cut the price in half.

Others are not in shape to heli ski every day for a week; others want the option to ski the result if the weather turns bad.  For the same reasons, some want cat skiing as a warm up, or as a fall-back the heliskiing suffers a down day.

We now have multiple heli-ski operators with combinations to offer.  They vary in trip duration and the combination of days.  Shoulder seasons are less expensive.   We recommend resort and catskiing first, so that your legs are in shape for the heli-ski days.  Also, it’s hard to sit on a chairlift the day after heliskiing……..
