    Comments: I did this yesterday and told you it was the worst. Totally incompetent head guide etc. We like the Ruby Heli skiing and will be returning there. It is the best, great terrain, qualified and professional guides.

    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.
