Weather & Terrain

"The snowpack, straddling a coastal climate, to the West and a dry interior climate to the East, is some of the biggest and deepest in British Columbia!"

We boast a massive expanse of terrain and since we limit the number of heli-skiers and boarders you will never run out of untracked snow. Many of our runs are 5000 to 6000 v. ft (1500 to 1800 vm's).

Our longest run is almost 7000 v. ft (2150 vm's). We have exceptional tree skiing! Some of our tree skiing runs, used mostly in case of poorer weather, are only a few minutes away from the base.

Those who have heliskied with us in Bella Coola know our strength is high alpine terrain and majestic scenery. This scenery is scattered with jagged rock towers, giant glacier bowls and steep couloirs crowned by enormous peaks.

Today was the last day of our winter season and what a fantastic season it has been. Winter will not give up yet as today we heliskied boot to knee deep powder.

Maybe the winter wont quit but we certainly are ready for the beach! Thank you all and we hope to see you in June for BIG corn riding & BIG fish adventures...for more please visit Springs & Corn.
