We wanted a playground in our backyard; a place in the mountains to live and raise our family. Great Canadian Heli-Skiing (GCH) in Golden, British Columbia was that opportunity. Since we purchased GCH in 2000, we have found ourselves immersed in a group of passionate people that shape Great Canadian Heli-Skiing. It is so much more than what we could of dreamed of. It is a home for our children, a place to be with friends, it is supremely fulfilling as we share ‘the best run of our lives’ day after day.
Whatever you’re searching for, be it adventure, powder, relaxation, camaraderie, it will be only a small part of what you will find.
Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is Deane Pickering, with us since 1996. Our Customer Relations Manager is a true Golden local. With her heart and voice of gold you will know from your first call, you are in good hands.
Great Canadian Heli-skiing is Greg “the General” Golovach, with us since 1989. He passionately runs the operations as head guide, leading you, our guest with precision and a knowledge and nose for powder.
Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is Dan Bracko, with us since 2005. A chef whose passion for skiing is only superceded by his commitment to creating memorable food. When you taste his fare you must agree that loving life is the best spice in life.
Most importantly Great Canadian Heli-Skiing is our guests. From pioneering boutique heli-skiing in 1988, to launching unlimited vertical in 2006, you have created, with your ideas, needs and dreams, the ultimate heli-skiing experience, and a place that is apart of the lives of many passionate people. This is only a small group of very dedicated people, guides, guests and staff that you will find at Great Canadian Heli-Skiing.
