- Comments: I'm a repeat customer of Silvertip heli. I've been to 8 different BC heli/cat lodges. I consider silvertip to be one of the best operations in BC. They have the terrain, 60ft of snow , and its north so its tends to be colder to preserve snow. No heli operator is perfect, but i feel silvertip has more odds stacked in their favor to make your trip amazing.
