Big mountains, deep powder, no crowds.

Heliskiing takes skiing or snowboarding to a whole new level. Instead of a lift, a helicopter drops you deep into untouched alpine terrain where you’ll carve fresh lines all day long.

British Columbia is one of the best places on earth for heliskiing. With huge snowfalls, endless terrain, and experienced guides, it’s a dream for advanced skiers and riders looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience — or a new annual tradition.

What to Expect

Trips usually include multiple helicopter drops, a certified guide, avalanche safety gear, and lunch in the mountains. Some operators offer day trips, but most people go for multi-day packages that include lodging, meals, and a full experience.

What You’ll Need

You’ll need solid skiing or riding skills and decent fitness. Everything else—gear, training, and support — is usually provided. You don’t have to be an expert, but you should be confident in deep powder and varied terrain.

Heliskiing is as much about the silence, scenery, and solitude as it is about the skiing. It’s an unforgettable way to explore BC’s backcountry from above—and ride it all the way down.
