Canada Heli Boarding in BC with
Great Canadian Heli-Skiing

Canada’s heli boarding is the ultimate in deep powder boarding destinations. The snow is deep, the helicopters are powerful and the untracked BC Mountains are abundant. Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is located in British Columbia between two of Canada’s newest resorts, Golden’s Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Revelstoke’s new Mountain Resort.  Both have a reputation for challenging heli boarding terrain and significant snowfalls. Kicking Horse is often described as Canada’s version of Jackson Hole. Aside from quantity, the snow’s quality is what we are most well known for; deep, bottomless, dry, champagne powder - perfect for heli boarding in Canada.

Great Canadian Heli-Skiing Heli Boarding Operations in BC

BC heli boarding with Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is unlike most BC heli boarding operations.  Using a helicopter as a ski lift, Great Canadian Heli-Skiing will pick up a group of heli boarders, then drop them off where the snow locations are most ideal. Great Canadian Heli-Skiing rises above its BC competition by providing unlimited vertical.

Great Canadian Heli-Skiing provides a guest-to-guide ratio of 4:1, keeping the heli boarding groups small to capitalize on the experienced guides’ services to personalize the heli boarding experience.

Offering all-inclusive heli boarding holiday packages ranging between two to seven days, Great Canadian Heli-Skiing provides a personalized experience, catering to heli boarders from around the world.

The A-Star B2 helicopter is often waiting to meet the guided snow boarding group at the bottom of each run, then after loading the passengers and equipment the helicopter will lift off to the next landing zone.

Once unloaded, the guide will determine the route for the group based on terrain and weather conditions, experience and knowledge. On average each group will ride 8 to 12 runs in a day.

Heli Boarding Equipment and Gear

Great Canadian Heli-Skiing supplies snowboards specifically for heli boarding for their BC heli boarders. Heli boarding equipment is sized to maximize floatation in the deep snow, with a large shovel at the nose, tapered tail and back of center snowboarder stance while downhill snow boarding, the turns will keep floating and our snow boarders become less tired. Although our snow boarding guests are welcome to bring their own boards, we highly recommend they try one of our boards customized for deep snow heli boarding.
